Our Roots
RADIUS was founded in 2020 to expand services and alternatives that keep youth connected to their communities while navigating the juvenile justice system.
RADIUS served its first youth on July 11, 2023.
It was more than a date, it was the moment RADIUS became a sanctuary for youth, families and community healing.
Our program continues that vision by keeping Omaha youth on juvenile probation in their communities, where they can access treatment and education without being separated from their families, schools, and local support networks that are essential to long-term success.
Our Strategic Plan
At RADIUS, we’re committed to growth, quality, and lasting impact. During 2026-2028, our organization will be guided by three strategic directions that shape how we serve youth, support staff, and strengthen our community.
