Support Our Capital Campaign

Be a part of building our future home in South Omaha.

Since 1987, Girls Inc. of Omaha’s Emma Lozier Center has provided a positive, all-girl environment where South Omaha girls build confidence, discover their strengths, and grow Strong, Smart, and Bold. With two thriving centers to share our programs in North and South Omaha, we are proud to serve girls across the city.

Now, the time has come to move forward with the relocation and expansion of the South Omaha Center and to continue delivering the empowering Girls Inc. Experience to girls throughout our community.

The New Emma Lozier Center will provide expanded opportunities, experiences, and support that encourage girls to realize their potential as the Strong, Smart, and Bold leaders our world needs.

Join us in creating new opportunities for our community of Girls.

A center as unique as the girls we serve.

In The Heart of South Omaha
The New Emma Lozier Center will be located at 2108 L St., in the heart of South Omaha. This location will help expand access to the impactful benefits of Girls Inc.’s holistic, research-based programming and positive, all-girl environment to more girls across the South Omaha community. With convenient access to nearby schools and parents’ workplaces, the new center will meet girls and their families where they live.
A Welcoming Space For All
To reflect South Omaha’s vibrancy and diversity, the new center will include bilingual signage, culturally responsive visuals, and accessibility features to ensure everyone who enters feels welcome, seen, and supported. Staffed by professionals who reflect the community’s diversity, the center will surround girls with relatable role models who inspire them to grow Strong, Smart, and Bold.
Increased Capacity
At 36,000 square feet, the center will be nearly five times larger than the current South Omaha facility to serve more girls and employ more professionals. The positive, pro-girl space will include a full-size gym, maker space, instructional kitchen, and a dedicated fleet of vans for transportation. Community members and groups will also be invited to use the outdoor space, gym, and meeting rooms during non-program hours, extending our impact beyond our core programs.
More Opportunities
To maximize impact, shared administrative resources and complementary amenities between Girls Inc.’s North and South Omaha centers will promote efficiency, foster cross-programming, and encourage community engagement and learning. The New Emma Lozier Center will also feature flexible indoor and outdoor classroom spaces, a playground, and a multi-sports field, providing girls with inspiring spaces to explore, engage, and grow.
