EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Succinctly state the need or issue addressed by the request.State the purpose of this funding request,
including information about the population served and geographic area(s) that will benefit from
this proposal.
Hundreds of students in the city of Omaha drop out of school every year or fall further behind in
credits and are more likely to eventually drop out. The Youth Academic Navigator Program
supports students ages 15-21 who are struggling to complete a high school diploma or who have
already dropped out. YANs serve as mentors,academic coaches,and case managers.They monitor
attendance, grades, and credits and help youth overcome barriers to graduation including
connecting them to community resources,as needed.YANs do outreach to dropouts and encourage
and assist them with reenrollment in school.This funding request will continue to partially pay the
salary of a bilingual YAN doing most of her work in disadvantaged areas of South Omaha. The
funding will also help support the hiring of a new YAN which is needed due to an increase in
demand for these services caused by disengagement of students related to pandemic issues. Other
characteristics of the population being served include but are not limited to poverty, pregnancy
and parenting, foster youth, youth involved in the juvenile/criminal justice system, special
education, English language learners, LGBTQ youth, and those with behavioral health issues.
Historically, 95% of the students served are students in the Omaha Public Schools, and 95% of
these students reside in Douglas County.A large majority of students served live in disadvantaged

D2 CENTER PROGRAM NARRATIVE
ORGANIZATION INFORMATION
Development of a reengagement center in Omaha began in the fall of 2010 under the former
nonprofit Building Bright Futures. The D2 Center I Directions Diploma piloted its program in
2011 and officially opened in September of that year. A Board of Directors met for the first time
in the spring of 2014, and in October 2014 the D2 Center(D2C) became a 501(c)(3)
organization. Reengagement centers to reengage dropout youth and assist youth off track to
graduate on time were first established about eighteen years ago. The National League of Cities
Reengagement Center Network was created ten years ago, and the D2 Center was a founding
member. The Network has expanded across the United States, and members participate in
conference calls, an annual convening, and the sharing of data and best practices. The D2C is a
unique Omaha nonprofit and has ten years of experience doing reengagement work in the Omaha
community.
The mission of the D2C is to connect out-of-school and disengaged youth ages 15-21 into an
educational pathway with other resources and supports needed to earn a high school diploma and
prepare for postsecondary opportunities and a career. The primary goal of the D2C is to support
struggling students with a positive adult relationship so that as many as possible graduate from
high school by age 21. Secondary goals include outreach to dropouts to encourage and assist
with reenrollment in school, planning for postsecondary career and educational opportunities,
assisting students with these opportunities before or after graduation, connecting students to
needed resources in community, and providing tutoring and elective credit options while in
school.
The D2C provides each student a Youth Academic Navigator(YAN), a caring, adult advocate
with a college degree. YANs build a relationship with the youth, collaborate with other adults
supporting the youth including parents and school staff members, and connect the youth to
resources in the community to help overcome barriers. The D2C provides tutoring from certified
teachers during the school year and elective credit opportunities to help students improve grades,
earn additional credits, and enhance verbal and quantitative skills. Career Navigators assist youth
approaching graduation or post-graduation with career and postsecondary planning and
connections: career exploration,job searches and applications, mock interviews, resume writing,
FAFSA completion, scholarship assistance, and enrolling in college or training programs.
Although numbers were down in 2020 due to the pandemic, 330 students were served in the
YAN program and 50 graduated. For the same reason YAN reengagement outreach is at an all-
time high of 315 students after 3 quarters of the 2020-21 school year. In the summer of 2020,the
D2C teamed up with OPS summer school to offer virtual elective credits in a"Pandemic
Partnership."Thirty D2C and non-D2C students earned 28 credits including 7 who would not
have otherwise graduated. Certified, D2C teachers were trained in Microsoft Teams, and virtual
tutoring was added in November 2020; this past quarter 16 students were tutored 38 times, which
is reasonably close to tutoring levels in person before the pandemic. Future planning is focused
on hiring an additional YAN to meet demands of more dropouts and students off-track to
graduate on time, returning to schools to engage students and staff, providing on-site intakes,
tutoring and elective credits, and meetings with students and families in person. A move to the

first ever satellite location is planned for later in 2021 at the renovated and repurposed Yates
Community Center.
The D2C Board of Directors meets quarterly, and the President and Vice President both work for
the top two funders of the D2C, The Sherwood Foundation and the Weitz Family Foundation.
The Finance Committee is headed by a former banker, who assists with both development of
each annual budget as well as monitoring of the budget and investment strategies. Each year for
Omaha Gives!, Board members provided a matching donation as well as connections to
community members who were donors or potential donors. Although much of the fundraising
responsibility is left up to the Executive Directors and marketing consultants, the expertise of
Board members has been utilized as needed. Several Board members participated in the
development of a new strategic plan in 2019. One Board member is an OPS curriculum
supervisor and annually approves D2C elective credits and curriculum so the credits can be
posted on transcripts. Another board member serves as VP of Secondary Partnerships at MCC
and just retired; before retiring he coordinated the addition of a replacement Board member from
MCC who directs the high school alternative pathway Gateway to College (an option for a few
D2C students) as well as dual credit opportunities for high school students. Recently, a Board
member requested the development of D2C leadership succession planning and directed the
Executive Directors to a consultant.
The D2C is committed to supporting diversity in its board, staff, and students. One D2C graduate
serves on the Board, and during the past quarter the D2C teamed up with Avenue Scholars and
the Intern Omaha project and will have a high school student intern working part-time for a year
beginning in June 2021. The student will not only learn about how nonprofits work but will also
attend Board meetings. D2C staff share student feedback, successes and failures at weekly staff
meetings to inform processes and improve communication. Official policy outlined in the
Employee Handbook prohibits discrimination relating to hiring as well as any students served.
All open full-time positions are posted on CareerLink and Nonprofit Association of the Midlands
career sites. Staff are continually seeking out relevant trainings to better help communicate with
students and families. Examples include learning about Native/Indigenous youth, LGBTQ+
youth, refugee youth, and families living in poverty, as well as in-depth workshops on the history
of systemic racism. D2 Center staff come from a variety of backgrounds, representing diversity
in race/ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ+ status, and age. This is by design, so that students, families,
and the community can see themselves reflected in D2C staff and feel more comfortable. The
D2C office is located in an accessible building on multiple Metro Bus lines. Because
transportation is a common issue for the population served, staff frequently meet students at
schools and do home visits. The D2C intake specialist works flexible hours, including occasional
evenings as needed,to accommodate working students and parents. Three employees speak
Spanish, and printed handouts and the website are available in English and Spanish. When other
languages are needed, especially to communicate with parents when a student enters the
program,the D2C utilizes OPS bilingual liaisons. Another example of modifying interventions
for cultural groups occurred early in 2020. A binary student was coming to the D2C to work on
an elective credit, and two teachers who worked with them were not using correct pronouns. The
student pointed this out to their YAN, and the entire staff was then trained on using pronouns by
watching a video and working with the YAN who is the LGBTQ specialist. The D2C Board is
multi-ethnic, and five of the ten Board members have an educational background representing
Page 2 of 6
the key purpose of the program. Other Board members come from backgrounds of juvenile
justice and law, finance, nonprofit and foundation management.
A key partnership for the D2C is Omaha Public Schools (OPS), the largest and most diverse
school district in the Omaha Metro area. OPS has the lowest graduation rate, the highest number
of students living in poverty, and a robust alternative education program providing high risk
youth multiple options to complete their diploma or to be reengaged in school if they drop out.
Historically, about 95%of D2C students served have been OPS students. Since the fall of 2016,
the D2C has had a Services Agreement with OPS to conduct dropout reengagement with students
who have withdrawn from school but are eligible to reenroll. Access to these dropout lists and
the student information system make the partnership particularly strong. OPS staff members
provide the largest number of referrals to the D2C program, and D2C staff members (outside the
pandemic)are welcomed in OPS high schools and alternative programs where they can
communicate with teachers, counselors,administrators, and social workers and to meet with their
students. The D2C has a long relationship with the Nebraska Early Childhood Collaborative
Teen and Young Parent Program (TYPP). Cross referrals result in TYPP referring parenting
clients who have not completed a diploma, and the D2C referring pregnant and parenting
students who need extra support with issues such as childcare,prenatal visits, and supplies.
Another significant partnership is with the United Way of the Midlands Opportunity Youth
Alliance. Continued involvement not only strengthens D2C ties with many other youth/young
adult serving organizations in the city, but it also serves as a referral source for D2C students
who are experiencing financial hardships, homelessness, and other basic needs.
PURPOSE OF GRANT
PROGRAM SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The program name is D2 Center Youth Academic Navigators. A significant increase in the
number of applicants to the program as well as students needing reengagement services occurred
during the first quarter of 2021; this is largely due to the previous 3 quarters that were negatively
impacted by the pandemic. One unfortunate outcome of the pandemic has been school
disengagement due to remote learning, lack of direct teacher support, and other factors for high
school students such as loss of jobs, family economic distress, and the need to work when
parents lose their jobs. More students have experienced course failure and more students have
dropped out. The decision to hire an eighth YAN/Reengagement Specialist was put on hold just
over a year ago, but later in 2021 it will be a necessity based on current trends. City funds will
help support this expansion by continuing to provide partial funding for a YAN and partial
funding of a new YAN. The D2C will provide a match of benefits and salary for these positions.
By supplementing resources to fund these positions,the D2C is able to maintain a competitive
salary and benefits which effectively minimizes turnover in YAN positions. This is crucially
important because the YAN program is based on developing long-term relationships with youth.
Other YAN factors are the importance of developing relationships with school personnel,
knowledge of school organization, programs, and resources, development of relationships with
other youth providers in the community, and knowledge of these resources. Of the seven current
YANs,the average length of service to the D2C is over 5 years. YAN loyalty, commitment, and
passion for helping youth remain at the heart of the D2 Center program culture and success.
Page 3 of 6
The City of Omaha is currently partially funding the salary and administrative costs of a
bilingual Spanish YAN who is working with many students in disadvantaged areas of South
Omaha as well as some students in other parts of the city. Students who earn a high school
diploma are more likely to go on to further education and training than dropouts, are more likely
to be employed and to have higher earnings and are better prepared to enter the workforce and
meet the needs of hiring businesses and employers. They are less likely to live or remain in
poverty or be incarcerated. Job growth will be enhanced through a more educated work force in
an economy requiring more educated and skilled workers. The YAN program overall serves
students who, for the most part, reside in disadvantaged areas of the city. The goal is to focus on
improving human development in Omaha through educational attainment with a postsecondary
focus.
The program was established to support and serve those high-risk youth who have dropped out
of school, are off track to graduate on time, or who are most likely to become dropouts. The OPS
graduation rate in 2020 dropped by 3 points compared to a statewide drop of 1%. The Nebraska
Education Commissioner stated in the fall of 2020 that the expected drop for the Class of 2021
would probably be even greater. The D2C is helping address issues of lower graduation rates in
OPS,particularly with students noted below in the target population. A high school diploma is
considered a baseline for an educated citizenry. One effect of more students earning a high
school diploma in a community is more tax-paying citizens and fewer citizens requiring some
form of public assistance. This translates to more working citizens in better jobs, more spending
and investments, more home and auto sales, and more postsecondary degrees and training in
addition to less crime, decreased health care costs, and fewer citizens living in poverty.
The target population is high school dropouts, students off track to graduate on time, students
attending alternative education programs who have left traditional high schools, and students
with other significant risk factors. Some of these factors are pregnant or parenting, living in
poverty, current or former involvement in the juvenile/criminal justice system, foster youth,
special education, English language learners, LGBTQ youth, behavioral health or substance
abuse issues,poor attendance, and family issues. The D2C is a voluntary program willing to
support any youth with risk factors—no tests or other requirements are necessary, and all the
services provided are free. An application and intake to the D2C program is completed and
consent forms must be signed. Assistance with application and flexibility with intake are both
available, as needed. Capacity is currently 250 students in the YAN Program at any one time;
however,the goal is to increase this capacity to 300 based on needs in the community caused by
the pandemic. This would bring the annual capacity of total students served from about 350 to
over 400 in 2022. Another YAN will need to be hired to meet this need.
The D2C office is in The Center at 42nd and Center, conveniently located on multiple bus lines.
Although the office has been closed to the public and for student use (elective credits, tutoring,
etc.) for the past year, a full reopening is expected by the start of the school year in August 2021.
The YAN program is at the core of D2C services. The key philosophy of the D2C is based on
research showing that youth and young adults need strong relationships and webs of support to
provide the expectations, guidance, and confidence that can propel them forward in a positive
direction. YANs provide a caring, adult relationship for high-risk students at a critical stage of
their lives as they struggle to achieve high school graduation. D2C YANs have access to student
Page 4 of 6
data to track enrollment, attendance, and academic progress to have meaningful conversations
with students and other adults supporting the students. They also have access to students in the
school setting as well as school staff members. With caseloads limited to 30 to 35 students,
YANs build positive and meaningful relationships with their youth through weekly contact. They
make home visits when needed or go to court or even jail. YANs also participate in direct
outreach to dropouts and their families. They encourage and explain alternative routes to
completing a diploma and assist with the reenrollment process. YANs connect their students to
D2C services such as tutoring, elective credit opportunities and to the services of Career
Navigators both before and after high school graduation. D2C staff members have created the
curriculum for several elective credit classes, and two are currently in use including an English
elective to help improve verbal skills and a course focused on postsecondary planning. Each
YAN has an area of specialization (e.g., homelessness and housing,juvenile/criminal justice,
parenting and childcare) and attends community meetings and gatherings to reinforce their
knowledge and community connections. A team focus encourages YANs to troubleshoot when
difficult situations arise. YANs reengage students, keep students engaged, connect them to
community resources, and monitor and support them as they work toward a diploma and plan for
their future. A YAN may work with the same student for a few months or for many years,
however long it takes to graduate. YANs stay with their student even when their school
placement changes as long as they remain in Douglas or Sarpy County.
The D2C has ten years of successful experience in the field. The key measure of success is
graduation from high school (not a GED). A neutral outcome occurs when a student is
inactivated before graduation due to moving out of the Metro area(Douglas or Sarpy County). A
negative outcome occurs when a student is inactivated from the program without earning a
diploma, and the D2C has ceased attempts to reengage the student. In these cases, students may
have refused to continue to participate in the program, refused to go to school, chosen to work,
had childcare or other personal issues, aged out, or disappeared. Positive outcomes and data that
are measured quarterly include students activated into the program, reenrolling in school, staying
engaged in school, being currently served, and graduating. The D2 Center reports quarterly
outcomes on capacity (the number of students involved in the program who are assigned a
YAN), students who are contacted through dropout reengagement and their school engagement
status, students who graduate from high school, and students who are inactivated from the
program without a diploma.
YAN Program evaluation results were down in 2020 for total students served (330) and students
graduating(50). These numbers are expected to improve as the pandemic eases and students
hopefully return to full, in-person learning in August 2021. Overall evaluation results through the
years demonstrate the impact of the D2 Center YAN Program. About 1,050 students have been
served and 440 have graduated. 220 students are still active in the program. 98 of the 1,050
students were inactivated due to moving out of the Metro area(neutral outcome),which means
that 952 students have or will have a negative or positive outcome. 220 students are still active
(outcome unknown)which means that 732 students have a negative or positive outcome. 440 of
the 732 graduated (positive outcome =60%) and 292 of the 732 were inactivated (negative
outcome=40%). Considering the high-risk nature of D2 Center students and that no student is
turned away who is at risk and wants to participate, the success rate is viewed by D2 Center
Page 5 of 6
Board members and staff as commendable and clearly demonstrates the positive impact of the
program.
Executive Director Greg Emmel supervises the YAN program. He oversees the intake and action
plan process, assigns newly activated students to a specific YAN, and targets and assigns dropout
reengagement students to YANs. He coordinates training new YANs and the annual evaluation
of each YAN. Emmel has been doing this work at the D2 Center for ten years. Previously he had
33 years of successful experience in teaching and administration for OPS at the middle and high
school level. His last position with OPS was principal of Central High School from 2006 to
2010. Carolyn Miller also has ten years of experience as an Executive Director at the D2C. Her
main responsibilities are data collection and reporting, financials, human resources,technology,
and marketing. Previously she was a program manager for Microsoft Corporation, and her
background includes technical writing, program management in web development, content, and
online communities.
The program was significantly affected by the pandemic, and the office was closed to the public
in March 2020 and remains closed, although staff members work both from the office as well as
remotely. Personal interactions with students for intake interviews,tutoring, elective credits, and
working with Career Navigators on postsecondary planning have been virtual the past year.
YANs are unable to meet students at school sites due to school restrictions, and home visits all
require social distancing outside the home. Texting,phone calls, and use of Microsoft Teams for
zoom-type meetings have increased as methods of maintaining or building relationships with
students, but they are not as effective as meeting students in person at school or other sites. An
additional negative impact was the loss of many potential referrals of new students to the
program that began when schools closed in March 2020. More students became disengaged
largely due to the challenges of remote learning, and more students dropped out resulting in
fewer students graduating. This is especially true for high-risk students who tend to be in
alternative programs and who need personalized instruction in order to stay engaged and get the
help they need. Only during the past quarter have referral rates begun to pick up to near normal
levels. YANs have shifted more of their time and energy this past year to dropout reengagement
as this part of the operation has grown significantly. Finally, with more students dropping out or
off track to graduate on time, D2C operations moving forward in the current year and into 2022
should result in more students than ever requiring D2C services.

Grant Award Special Condition
Award Condition: Determination of suitability required, in advance, for certain individuals
who may interact with participating minors
1. Advance determination regarding suitability. The recipient (and any subrecipient at
any tier) may not permit any covered individual to interact with any participating minor in
the course of activities under the award, unless the recipient or subrecipient first has
made a written determination of the suitability of that individual to interact with
participating minors, based on current and appropriate information as described in
paragraph 3.E., and taking into account the factors and considerations described in
paragraph 4.
2. Updates and reexaminations
A. The recipient (or subrecipient) must, at least every five years, update the searches
described in paragraph 3.E.1. and 2., reexamine the covered individual's suitability
determination in light of those search results, and, if appropriate, modify or withdraw
that determination.
B. The recipient also must reexamine a covered individual's suitability determination
upon learning of information that reasonably may suggest unsuitability and, if
appropriate, modify or withdraw that determination.
3. Definitions
A. "Covered individual" means any individual (other than a participating minor, as
defined in this condition, or a client of the recipient (or subrecipient)) who is expected, or
reasonably likely, to interact with any participating minor (other than the individual's own
minor children). A covered individual need not have any particular employment status or
legal relationship with the recipient (or subrecipient). Such an individual might be an
employee of a recipient (or subrecipient), but also might be (for example) a consultant,
contractor, employee of a contractor, trainee, volunteer, or teacher.
B. "Participating minor." All individuals under 18 years of age within the set of
individuals described in the scope section of this condition as it appears on the award
document are participating minors.
August 2019—Page 1
C. "Interaction" includes physical contact, oral and written communication, and the
transmission of images and sound, and may be in person or by electronic (or similar)
means. But "interaction" does not include--
(1) brief contact that is both unexpected by the recipient (or subrecipient) and
unintentional on the part of the covered individual -- such as might occur when a postal
carrier delivers mail to an administrative office.
(2) personally-accompanied contact -- that is, infrequent or occasional contact (for
example, by someone who comes to make a presentation) in the presence of an
accompanying adult, pursuant to written policies and procedures of the recipient (or
subrecipient) that are designed to ensure that -- throughout the contact -- an appropriate
adult who has been determined to be suitable pursuant to this condition will closely and
personally accompany, and remain continuously within view and earshot of, the covered
individual.
D. "Activities under the award." Whether paid for with funds from the award,
"matching" funds included in the approved budget for the award activities under the
award include both.
(1) activities carried out under the award by the recipient (or subrecipient); and
(2) actions taken by an entity or individual pursuant to a procurement contract under the
award or to a procurement contract under a subaward at any tier.
E. "Current and appropriate information"
In addition to information resulting from checks or screening required by applicable
federal, state, tribal, or local law, and/or by the recipient's (or subrecipient's) written
policies and procedures, current and appropriate information includes the results of all
required searches listed below, each of which must be completed no earlier than six
months before the determination regarding suitability.
(1) Public sex offender and child abuse websites/registries
A search (by current name, and, if applicable, by previous name(s) or aliases), of the
pertinent and reasonably-accessible federal, state, and (if applicable) local and tribal
sex offender and child abuse websites/public registries, including--
(a) the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (www.nsopw.qov);
(b) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the
individual lives, works, or goes to school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any
time during the past five years; and
August 2019—Page 2
(c) the website/public registry for each state (and/or tribe, if applicable) in which the
individual is expected to, or reasonably likely to, interact with a participating minor in the
course of activities under the award.
(2) Criminal history registries and similar repositories of criminal history records
For each individual at least 18 years of age who is a covered individual under this FY
2019 award, a fingerprint search (or, if the recipient or subrecipient documents that a
fingerprint search is not legally available, a name-based search, using current and, if
applicable, previous names and aliases) (-- encompassing at least the time period
beginning five calendar years preceding the date of the search request -- of pertinent
state (and, if applicable, local and tribal) criminal history registries or similar repositories,
including--
(a) the criminal history registry for each state in which the individual lives, works, or
goes to school, or has lived, worked, or gone to school at any time during the past five
years; and
(b) the criminal history registry for each state in which he or she is expected to, or
reasonably likely to, interact with a participating minor in the course of activities under
the award.
4. Factors and considerations in determinations regarding suitability
In addition to the factors and considerations that must or may be considered under
applicable federal, state, tribal, or local law, and under the recipient's (or subrecipient's)
written policies and procedures, in making a determination regarding suitability, the
recipient (or subrecipient) must consider the current and appropriate information
described in paragraph 3.E.
In particular (unless applicable law precludes it), with respect to either an initial
determination of suitability or a subsequent reexamination, the recipient (or
subrecipient) may not determine that a covered individual is suitable to interact with
participating minors in the course of activities under the award if the covered individual--
A. Withholds consent to a criminal history search required by this condition;
B. Knowingly makes (or made) a false statement that affects, or is intended to affect,
any search required by this condition;
C. Is listed as a registered sex offender on the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public
Website;
D. To the knowledge of the recipient (or subrecipient), has been convicted -- whether as
a felony or misdemeanor -- under federal, state, tribal, or local law of any of the
August 2019—Page 3
following crimes (or any substantially equivalent criminal offense, regardless of the
specific words by which it may be identified in law):
(1) sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or endangerment of an individual under the age of
18 at the time of the offense;
(2) rape/sexual assault, including conspiracy to commit rape/sexual assault;
(3) sexual exploitation, such as through child pornography or sex trafficking;
(4) kidnapping;
(5) voyeurism; or
E. Is determined by a federal, state, tribal, or local government agency not to be
suitable.
5. Administration; rule of construction
A. The requirements of this condition are among those that must be included in any
subaward (at any tier), and must be monitored. They apply as of the date of
acceptance of this award, and throughout the remainder of the period of performance.
B. The recipient is to contact the awarding agency with any questions regarding the
requirements of this condition and must not allow a covered individual to interact
with a participating minor until such questions are answered.
C. Award funds may be obligated for the reasonable, necessary, and allocable costs (if
any) of actions designed to ensure compliance with this condition, provided that such
funds would not supplant non-federal funds that would otherwise be available for such
costs.
D. Nothing in this condition shall be understood to authorize or require any recipient,
any subrecipient at any tier, or any person or other entity, to violate any federal, state,
tribal, or local law, including any applicable civil rights or nondiscrimination law.
