RADIUS is a non-profit organization serving girls and boys ages 12-18 with a focus on restoring relationships between youth, families, and their community.
Our mission at RADIUS is to empower youth and families to reach their full potential through community engagement and trauma-informed education, social and behavioral health services.
RADIUS was created in 2020 to join existing efforts in Douglas County, Nebraska to strengthen the continuum of services and alternatives for youth involved in the juvenile justice system.
These collective efforts are designed to keep Omaha youth, who are on juvenile probation, in their community to receive treatment and education while preventing them from experiencing disruptions in family relationships, education, and local support networks which are essential to their future success.
Our mission is to empower youth and families to reach their full potential through community engagement and trauma-informed education, social and behavioral health services.
