Educate and Empower
Leaders, Champions and Student Athletes
NHE, a program sponsored by Wright Track a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a sports-based youth-development and educational organization based in Omaha, Nebraska.
NHE creates opportunities and provides support for promising youth to fulfill their potential in the classroom, on the court and in the community. Our mission is to educate and empower promising youth to be leaders, champions and student-athletes by developing the skills necessary for success in high school, college and life.
NHE is relentless in our support of our student-athletes and we serve as a valuable resource to their families. We involve parents and family members in our program through frequent check-ins by phone or email, home and school visits, and informational workshops throughout the year. We also support our families through crises by making referrals to social services and acting as a parallel family in times of need.
NHE fields multiple travel basketball teams that compete in tournaments throughout the region and the country. The basketball program serves several purposes. First, it is a hook that keeps participants engaged in their academic success. Second, the basketball court is a classroom where leadership and life skills are developed. Third, because our teams travel to tournaments at colleges and in cities throughout the country, the basketball program exposes participants to educational opportunities and new people, places and experiences.
