From a single workshop to a national practice
Omera Education was founded in 2012 by Dr. Amara Osei, a former nonprofit director who experienced firsthand how difficult it was for mission-driven organizations to access high-quality leadership development. The training that existed was either too generic, too expensive, or too disconnected from the real challenges these organizations faced.
She started with a single leadership workshop for a group of 12 executive directors in the Bay Area. The response was immediate. Organizations were hungry for something that spoke to their actual context — the constraints, the stakes, the complexity of doing hard work with limited resources.
Over a decade later, we've served over 200 organizations across 47 states, developed a research-backed curriculum grounded in adult learning theory, and built a team of practitioners who've worked inside the organizations we now serve.
