Founded in 1987, Voices for Children in Nebraska has a 30 year track record of improving the lives of Nebraska’s children and youth through research, advocacy, and community engagement. MISSION: Voices for Children in Nebraska is the independent voice building pathways to opportunity for all children and families through research, policy, and community engagement. VISION: We will engage the public and state leaders to build systems removing obstacles and promoting opportunities for ALL children to lead healthy, secure and fulfilling lives. VALUES: All children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed in life. To ensure kids remain at the center of priorities and programs: • Informed research drives our direction. • When a policy is good, we support it; when it is harmful, we fight it; when it is missing, we can create it. • Community engagement is how we promote systems change.
