Through leo programming is facilitated at lincoln high for students that are credit deficient, parenting or struggling with truancy. These supports and services are aimed to assist students with staying in school and successfully moving closer to the goal of graduation. The hub recognizes that traditional school does not work for everyone, so we also provide free ged prep classes (ages 16-24), remove barriers to accessing ged testing by providing access to computers and the financial support to pay for the exams.

The youth homelessness demonstration program (yhdp) provides coaching and human services navigation support to individuals 24 years old or younger, who are currently experiencing homelessness, at imminent risk of homelessness, or are fleeing violence towards themselves or family members. The overall goal of the program is to reduce the number of young adults experiencing homelessness in lincoln, ne. Coaching: young adults work with hub staff to identify their unique goals, develop skills, and access needed support and plans to achieve the desired outcomes. Young adults who are working with a coach will be connected to support and resources to address their individualized needs in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. Navigation: the navigator will work with a young adult to search for available housing options and apply for assistance through other agencies as needed. The goal of navigation is not for the coach to secure housing for the young adult, but to ensure that the young adult has support in their search for housing.
