About Us
Who We Are
Turning Hope Into Action
for Nebraska’s Children
For more than 35 years, Voices for Children in Nebraska has been a trusted advocate, using data and research to guide policymakers and communities in making informed decisions on issues affecting our next generation.
We are dedicated to addressing systemic issues, such as poverty and hunger, that drive the need for community support. From health and child welfare to economic stability and juvenile justice, we ensure that every child’s voice is heard and their needs are addressed in classrooms, courtrooms, newsrooms, and legislative chambers statewide.
Policy victories for Nebraska’s children don’t happen by chance. That’s why we remain dedicated to driving meaningful change through comprehensive research and expert advocacy.
