What We Do

The Nebraska Alliance provides statewide leadership in the fight against child abuse while working with our member Centers, the seven Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) located throughout Nebraska. The Nebraska Alliance is dedicated to the multidisciplinary, child advocacy approach and a coordinated, comprehensive response to child abuse throughout all of our state's 93 counties. The Nebraska Alliance provides the seven CACs grant opportunities, training opportunities, legislative action/education, the communication on child welfare issues, and support for their individual center’s accreditation - a cadre of services which are rooted in the enhancement of the national CAC model. Through this relationship, the seven CACs are able to fulfill the Nebraska Alliance’s vision by providing consistent, high quality services to Nebraska’s children. Your gift during Do Good Week can help in the following ways: $50 sponsors a meeting with legislators to make sure Nebraska’s laws promote healing and justice for children experiencing abuse. $75 trains a local law enforcement officer on the unique needs of child abuse survivors in the investigative process. $100 secures a month of interviews conducted at child advocacy centers, ensuring children’s testimony of abuse stays confidential. $150 provides one week of translation services allowing children and families to fully communicate and access services in their native language. $200 supports data analysis and program improvement to expand access to child advocacy center services.
