During the school year, The Salvation Army invites 6th-12th graders to spend their Friday nights at Teen Night. But Teen Night looks a little different at the Salvation Army than it used to.
Since COVID-19, the Salvation Army has taken extra precautions - like taking temperatures as youth arrive, having youth bringing their own water bottles, wear a face mask and use the hand sanitizing stations. But one thing hasn't changed - fun and lots of opportunities to be active. Read more.

Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health, wellness, and fitness of Lincoln's children, families, and seniors.
We work to improve wellness policies and conduct community level health research. We collaborate with community partners to promote healthy weights with good nutrition and beverage choices, increase fitness, support breastfeeding, and improve patient outcomes by increasing cancer and vaccination rates, improving chronic disease management, and standardizing clinical practices. During public health crises like the COVID 19 pandemic, we help to protect community health by providing science and evidence-based information.
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln also works to improve health equity in our community, addressing disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest burden of chronic disease. Systemic racism is also a threat to community health. We stand in solidarity with everyone who is fighting for greater equality and justice for all.
