OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The United Way will provide extra training for employees who work with students in Omaha after-school programs.

Employees in 31 Omaha after-school programs will receive training from the new United Way Women’s Leadership Council initiative. The council is partnering with the Collective for Youth, a nonprofit group that runs after-school centers in Omaha Public Schools. Participating programs serve about 4,500 students across the metropolitan area.

The training will touch on academics, but will mainly focus on helping kids learn proper behavior and social interaction.

The initiative will begin July 1 with the help of a $150,000 grant from the council to the collective. According to Annie Bird, the community impact chairwoman for the United Way council, the group has committed to providing $450,000 to the nonprofit for the program’s first three years.
