As part of our organizational growth, NWYS is excited to share that The Omni Center, led by Remy, our Director of Radical Intervention (pictured below), is almost complete! The Omni Center focuses on providing art-based radical services for BIB (Black, Indigenous, and Brown) youth, offering job and life skills, resume building, college application support, and cultural affirmation. Emphasizing community care and youth empowerment facilitates proactive diversion, channeling resources back to the youth and creating early pathways to economic mobility.
