Awareness & Advocacy
Community Action of Nebraska works to elevate the voices of those we serve by promoting policies that strengthen families and build thriving communities. Through education, outreach and collaboration with policymakers, we advocate for solutions that address the root causes of poverty and create lasting change across Nebraska.
Organization Development
We invest in the growth and strength of our member agencies by providing training, technical assistance and strategic support. By helping agencies build their internal capacity, we ensure they can deliver high-quality programs, adapt to changing needs and maximize their impact in the communities they serve.
Network Capabilities
Our statewide network thrives on connection and shared resources. Community Action of Nebraska fosters collaboration among agencies, streamlines data collection and leads collective initiatives that amplify our reach. Together, we are stronger- creating more effective programs and delivering greater outcomes for Nebraskans.
Our Partners
At CAN, collaboration fuels progress. Our partnership with Nebraska’s CAAs ensures we fulfill the promise of Community Action:
“Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live.”
Together, we create stronger communities—helping people help themselves and one another. CAN also belongs to national networks like the National Community Action Foundation and the National Community Action Partnership, aligning Nebraska with a national movement to tackle poverty at its roots.
