Building Bright Futures and the City of Omaha Discuss Tutor.com on Morning Blend
Posted by Carolyn
The D2 Center’s very own Albert Varas appeared on Morning Blend with Barb Farho from the City of Omaha to talk about tutor.com, an online tutoring resource available free to anyone with an Omaha Public Library card.
This past July, the D2 Center moved from our temporary space on the third floor to our permanent space on the fifth floor of The Center at 42nd & Center St. Our new space is larger, with room for staff offices, a reception area, and a classroom that doubles as a conference room. Over the summer we began to meet with students and piloted our first elective credit course, Literacy and Life Skills. We’ve spent the last couple months settling in, training staff, and preparing to see more students. If you or someone you know is age 15-20 and has dropped out of school or is thinking of dropping out, we’d like to talk to you! Please give us a call at 402-502-8534 with any questions and to see if you qualify for our program.

D2 Center Receives Sunshine Lady Foundation Grant from UNO Philanthropy Class
Posted by Carolyn
The D2 Center recently received a $10,000 grant through Doris Buffett’s Sunshine Lady Foundation and the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Learning by Giving philanthropy class.
Welcome to the D2 Center website. The D2 Center is a brand-new initiative from Building Bright Futures. Our goal is to reconnect out-of-school youth into an educational pathway. We serve youth ages 15-20 in Douglas and Sarpy Counties. The D2 in “D2 Center” stands for Directions and Diploma; we believe there are different directions students can take to get to a diploma, and we’re here to help you get there.
