Each year the MOMS Foundation selects a single non-profit organization or program to receive this grant. The Metro Omaha Medical Society Foundation matches up to the first $5,000.00 in donations to the Match Program.
NorthStar is this year’s recipient of the MOMS Foundation Match Grant. The donation deadline is Friday, January 22, 2021. Funds will be presented to NorthStar at the MOMS Virtual Annual Meeting on Wednesday, January 27, 2021.
ABOUT NORTHSTAR:
NorthStar’s founding vision is to dramatically increase the proportion of male students in North Omaha who graduate high school on time, positioned to begin post-secondary education or immediately enter the workforce. By employing a model of high-touch, multi-year extended learning, we focus on accelerating core academic and social-skill competencies of every young man we serve.
NorthStar programming aims to provide academic, athletic and social opportunities for student enrichment after school and over the summer. NorthStar serves boys in grades 3–8 through an open enrollment process. Boys who enroll prior to their 9th grade year are allowed to roll up to the Leaders & Achievers Program, which serves students in grades 9-12.
WORDS FROM NORTHSTAR STUDENTS:
- “Coming to NorthStar has changed me because I have a better attitude. I keep my grades up, and when I do my homework it’s easier because my teachers help explain it to me. I do all my work and get 100% on it, and I don’t turn it in late.” -Calvin, 7th grade student
- “It’s been a good experience for me at NorthStar to get help from the staff and to see how motivated they are. NorthStar has taught me how to be a better person in life and how to think ahead of time and plan for the future.” -JerKari, 11th grade student
HOW YOUR DONATION WOULD BE USED:
Your donation will help to fund a math tutor to for Northstar’s students. This will help to mitigate some of the impact of mandated remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
