    Mission:“To Empower Youth And Families In North Omaha.”

    The Wesley House

    Has been a vital part of the Omaha community since 1872 when it began serving as the original Omaha City Mission. Throughout the twentieth century, The Wesley House grew and was instrumental in the establishment of a number of key community businesses and programs. In 1969, it helped charter Omaha’s first black radio station, KOWH, and also established a credit union to serve the community. The organization created the Community Bank of Nebraska and facilitated the development of malls and apartment complexes through the Omaha
    Economic Development Corporation during the 1970’s. The 1980’s, brought the creation of the Alice Wilson Women’s Center, and the establishment of the New Community Development Corporation which, to date, has completed over $17 million in projects. Today, with a renewed focus on youth academics and leadership training, The Wesley House stands ready to build a healthier community for the next millennium and beyond.


    In a community burdened by many of the negative aspects of today’s culture, academic achievement often seems unattainable, perhaps even undesirable. Our Mission is to introduce children to a culture that values high achievement utilizing the Leadership Academy of Academic Excellence (LAAE). We are preparing our youth to become leaders in their community and their families. The vision is for the Wesley House to become a haven for achievers. Our goal is simply to give children the opportunity to pursue their highest personal potential for leadership, intellect and growth.


    Wesley House is focused on promoting excellence in education through leadership development and academic achievement. The Extended School Program (ESP) runs during the academic school year and offers activities that enrich opportunities for success in the following areas: math, citizenship, financial literacy, health and leadership. The Summer Academic Academy runs full days, Monday through Friday during the summer months and provides guided experiential learning, financial literacy and business etiquette in addition to typical offsite “fun” activities.
