About

Outlook Nebraska

Outlook Nebraska emerged in 2000 as a 501(c)(3) social enterprise determined to create a thriving workplace for the blind and visually impaired in our local community. Starting with just four blind associates producing paper products, we have grown into the largest employer of blind and visually impaired individuals in the state.

Our Mission

To create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals who are blind or visually impaired gain fulfilling career opportunities to lead successful, independent lives.

 

Core Values

Collaboration

We work side by side to create thoughtful solutions that reflect all perspectives.

Growth

We support personal and organizational growth to develop both our people and our mission.

Respect

We recognize the unique strengths of each person and respect the collective capability.

Trust

We embrace our responsibility to the community, which earns the trust of our stakeholders.

Outlook Nebraska Team

We live our mission every day. The majority of our associates are blind or visually impaired, creating opportunity by example and showing others what’s possible. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking for support, we’re here to help.
