physical space has played a crucial role in giving OTG members a sense of belonging and safety. Members of OTG attend bi-weekly meetings at the new outreach center and participate in community activities such as local parades, community events and outreach functions. Adriana, OTG member, joined the group after seeing the adolescent health outreach team’s presentation. Her sister had previously been a part of OTG, so Adriana thought she should try it out for herself.
OTG goes to KC In the summer of 2023, the Omaha Teen Generation (OTG) youth group traveled to Kansas City for a mini-retreat. The group went to the Worlds of Fun amusement park and stayed in a house together where they cooked a family-style dinner and watched movies. Luis Vazquez, Adolescent Health Outreach Manager, said these trips are a way to thank the group members for their dedication and hard work and to encourage self-reflection. “Our members wanted a sort of introduction to college, and staying in that house gave them that and more,” said Vazquez. “They got a sense that being a part of OTG is more than a responsibility, it’s a family.” Next year, the group is planning to go camping in Wyoming.
