In the fall of 2016, a dedicated group of community members began to meet and discuss growing community trends. From those meetings, the idea of EDGE Nebraska City was born. We are passionate about seeing declining poverty rates in our community by 2036. EDGE programming focuses on literacy, parent engagement, connecting students to their community and relationship building across all community sectors. We look forward to partnering with our community to give kids and families an EDGE.
We are dedicated to helping all families discover new opportunities so they can create big dreams and meet their goals.

What parents are saying...
Reader’s Edge provides kids not only with a new book every month, but fosters a love of reading that will help them throughout their academic career. The child takes that book and that enthusiasm home, and shares it with their family where it does more than just teaches reading. It promotes family togetherness.
