Mission: Nebraska children's mission is to create positive change for children through community engagement. Our vision is a nebraska where all children will have the resources and support to reach their full potential. Our values are (1) prevention - we believe in investing early before problems start, (2) opportunity - we believe every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, so we focus on providing opportunities to children who have the least and (3) collaboration - we believe it takes all of us to create a nebraska where all chidlren can reach their full potentional.
Programs: Child well-being communities: assist in the development of child well-being communities to make progress on child well-being indicators. Child well-being communities are community-owned collaborations that seek to optimize the prevention of adverse childhood experiences by actively promoting protective factors within the community context, across the community prevention system, and through parent-child interactions.
connected youth communities/ project everlast: connected youth initiative (cyi) is an innovative, youth-led initiative that has achieved success addressing the policies affecting youth aging out of foster care. Cyi works to actively remove barriers that keep youth in foster care from achieving permanence, educational achievement, employment, housing, physical and mental health, personal and community engagement, and economic success. We're currently assisting in the development of connected youth communities and collaborations across rural nebraska to help young people with experience in the foster care and juvenile justice systems, struggling with homelessness, or who are disconnected from a family structure.
early childhood: develop and support a comprehensive and integrated system of early childhood care and education that provides children from vulnerable families the opportunities to establish a strong foundation for learning. Also partner with communities to implement evidence-based practices that enhance the social-emotional development of children, birth through age 8.
