Children Considered State Wards in Nebraska

About

At Voices for Children in Nebraska we advocate for equitable opportunity for children in Nebraska through research, policy, and community engagement. 

We envision a Nebraska with strong communities, where every child has all they need to lead a healthy, secure, and fulfilling life.

We keep children at the heart of everything we do and follow a core set of values that serve as a guide for our words and actions.

• Integrity: We serve as an independent and non-partisan voice to drive systems change.
• Information: We use research, data, and community input to inform our direction and guide our actions.
• Equity: We intentionally center diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all we do.
• Courage: We fight against the status quo when necessary to amplify youth's voices and transform systems.
• Collaboration: We listen and partner in order to support children and families according to their needs.
