MISSION

Create positive change for Nebraska’s children through community engagement.

VISION

A Nebraska where all children will have the resources and support to thrive.

VALUES IN ACTION

Prevention

• We emphasize proactive choices over reactive ones, to anticipate and seize opportunities and avoid problems.

• We model best practices and promote them in our community partners.

• We are nimble in operation, innovative in mindset, and fearless in trying fresh approaches.

Opportunity

• We work for all but will prioritize those children, families, and communities that are the most disadvantaged or discriminated against.

• We level the playing field, speaking up for and supporting those whose voices are not heard or are silenced.

Collaboration

• We are objective but not neutral.

• We prioritize collective action over individual action, because we are better together.

• We celebrate the success of others and recognize the contributions of others to our success.

Facts and Feelings

• We base decisions and behaviors in sound practice that is founded in the best evidence.

• We build on evidence-based practices with a willingness to explore and test innovative approaches.

• We balance fidelity to evidence-based processes with the flexibility required to meet people and communities “where they are.”

• We connect discrete data, policies, and practices so we and our stakeholders can see the big picture.

GOAL

We empower families to be:

• Healthy

• Safe

• Enjoying life

• Achieving milestones

• Contributing positively to their communities

• Economically stable
