Every day at the D2 Center, we assist students who are working hard to re-engage in school and get back on track toward graduation and a positive future. Who are these students? What barriers are they facing, and overcoming? Over the next few months on the blog, we’ll be sharing student stories so our readers can get to know our students as we do: as unique young individuals prevailing over obstacles to pursue their high school diplomas — and beyond. Here is Samantha’s story.
The D2 Center Annual Report (PDF) for the 2018-2019 fiscal year is now available. Our Annual Report offers information about the students we serve, program outcomes, and our organization overall. High-level results for the year include:
— 368 total students served in the Youth Academic Navigator (YAN) program — an all-time high;
— 65 additional students served in OPS Multiple Pathways programs by D2 Center Career Navigators;
— 79 students graduated from high school — also an all-time high; and
— 250 outreach attempts to withdrawn students through our re-engagement partnership with Omaha Public Schools (OPS).
Please join us Friday, November 15, 2019 from 6-9 PM for our first-ever fundraiser! Put together a team of trivia wizards to compete for prizes and enjoy pizza, beer / wine, and soft drinks.
Our new YAN Spotlight series is an extension of our “Meet the Staff” series of posts where we follow up with our Youth Academic Navigators since the last time they were featured on the blog.

Since 2011, 365 D2 Center students have earned their high school diploma. We celebrate each graduate by putting their photo up on our wall of graduates. This past spring, we filled up our original graduate wall, so co-director Greg Emmel constructed a new wall so that we can continue our tradition as new graduates are added.
