Evidence-Based Action

At Voices for Children in Nebraska, data drives everything we do. We believe that lasting change for children and families begins with a clear understanding of the issues they face. Through comprehensive research and data analysis, we shine a light on the systems and policies that shape children’s well-being—identifying disparities, tracking progress, and informing solutions that move Nebraska closer to equity and opportunity for all kids.

Our research serves as the foundation for advocacy. From our annual Kids Count in Nebraska Report to focused fact sheets and issue briefs, we translate complex data into accessible insights that guide policymakers, community leaders, and advocates toward evidence-based action. By grounding our work in reliable data and amplifying the real stories behind the numbers, we work to ensure every child in Nebraska has the chance to thrive.
