Preparing Young People for a Bright Future
Beyond School Bells is providing skills training that sets young people up for success as they establish careers. Connecting students to work experiences through activities such as internships, hands-on career exploration, and the development of skills necessary to be competitive in the job market, are just a few of the valuable opportunities afterschool and summer learning programs can provide.
Outdoor Education
The Environmental-Conservation Action Program (E-CAP) is built on the realization that many afterschool programs across the state and nation have depended on outdoor education themes for years as the kinds of activities that kids love because:
- they create the platform for hands-on, engaged, project-based learning
- they motivate and inspire young people
- they create opportunities to partner with Nebraska organizations concerned about conservation
- they contribute to locally powered, sustainable afterschool and summer programs
Institute for a STEM Ready America
BSB partners with the Institute to guide how out-of-school STEM programs infuse career exploration and navigation into youth experiences. We work to align what kids learn today with the opportunities of tomorrow — from biotechnology and agricultural innovation to artificial intelligence and space exploration.
