Opportunity Campus
Please join this community investment and help us raise $300,000 in community donations to build the Opportunity Campus!
What is the Opportunity Campus?
The Opportunity Campus will be a housing and community space in Omaha, Nebraska for LGBTQIA2S+ youth and young adults who are system-impacted. We understand system-impacted to include individuals who have been impacted by such violent carceral systems as incarceration, detention, foster care, and family surveillance.
This initiative will provide housing, wrap around support services, mental health support, daily drop-in services (such as hot meals, showers, food pantry, and laundry), and community programming to system-impacted LGBTQIA2S+ youth, young adults, and their families. All services at the Opportunity Campus will be provided at no-cost to our residents and members.
The Opportunity Campus Capital Campaign!
We need to raise over $2 million to cover the full costs of the Opportunity Campus capital campaign. Black & Pink National simply cannot raise these funds alone – We are relying on the strength of our community to achieve the development of the Opportunity Campus!
We need your help to raise awareness about the Opportunity Campus!
Become an Opportunity Campus Ambassador today to help us spread the word and raise awareness and funds for this life-affirming initiative! Ambassadors will be crucial as we organize community members to contribute to the Opportunity Campus, and will be responsible for mobilizing their loved ones to raise funds and awareness for this space. Ambassadors will receive a Black & Pink National mask and access to exclusive events! Sign up today and begin fundraising for the Opportunity Campus!
Don’t have the time to engage as an Ambassador but still want to spread the word?
Check out this social media toolkit for sample Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts and graphics that you can use to spread information and raise funds for the development of the Opportunity Campus!
We know many of our community members might not be able to contribute financially to the Opportunity Campus campaign – We believe y’all are still crucial in helping us raise awareness and funds to build towards the Opportunity Campus! Record a 60 second social media video or write a social media post telling us what transformation would have been possible in your life if you had had access to the Opportunity Campus – Tag us and use the hashtag #IfIHadOpportunityCampus so we can share and show the world that the opportunities for transformation are endless if we invest in our young people!
We are incredibly grateful for all the ways our community shows up for our members!
We would like to honor the community donors who are making the Opportunity Campus possible:
