For 45 years, Go Beyond NE has been creating life-changing opportunities for 13-15-year-olds across Nebraska and Iowa—at no cost to families. With a focus on trauma-impacted and underserved youth, Go Beyond offers these teens a chance to experience the great outdoors like never before.
Partnering with organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Midlands, Boys Town, and the Boys & Girls Clubs, Go Beyond welcomes participants from diverse backgrounds, requiring only a simple application process. Their signature experience is an 8-14-day expedition into Wyoming’s breathtaking wilderness. Led by world-class guides, these adventures foster resilience, social inclusion and personal growth in a supportive, authentic environment—helping youth build a new story of strength, connectedness and hope for the future.
Hootenanny is Go Beyond's lively “western-wearin,’ banjo-pickin,’ sing-a-longin’ good-time” gala, held to support their annual Wyoming expedition for youth. This year’s event takes place on Friday, Oct. 25, from 6–9 p.m. at Oak Hill Country Club, 12325 Golfing Green Dr, Omaha, NE. Guests can enjoy live music, a silent auction, dinner and drinks, all for $85 per ticket. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, starting at $1,000.
