Without the Explorers program I definitely feel that I would not have been given the exposure and assurance that this was the career direction for me.

-Former Explorer for the HDR Architecture & engineering Program

I was originally hesitant to join but it pushed me to experiment and get out of my comfort zone. This course for sure nudged me in the path of journalism and helped me realize this is what I want to do as a career. Thank you for helping us and giving us these opportunities. I really appreciate it!

-Student in the Omaha World-Herald Program

I am starting from scratch. I need to get my foot in the door, and they have done a good job with that.

-Cadet Graduate from the Tri County Fire Corps Program

I don’t know of anywhere else where I can learn about K-9’s, CPR, search warrants, and defense tactics in a single organization.
