ROSS Leaders was founded in 2019 by Jacob Idra, a South Sudanese Omaha local. The organization began with a humble 20 boys in Omaha, NE and today has expanded to over 282 co-ed youth and alumni, spanning across 3 chapters; Omaha, Lincoln, and Manchester, NH.

 

Our fundamental mission is to inspire youth by cultivating community through the means of education, mentorship, and cultural identity. We continue to offer a diverse range of programs to expose students to new experiences and opportunities. In order to inspire and mold the next generation of leaders, we actively work to create a welcoming culture where students are not hindered by financial limitations but instead uplifted and challenged to reach their full potential.
