Belonging Begins with Us

Together, we can all play a part in making sure everyone feels they belong.

Let’s create more welcoming communities across Nebraska!

Feeling excluded is a universal experience – we all know what it’s like to feel left out – but for some it is more than momentary. We have the power to change that. Through shared experiences and making connections with our neighbors, we can create strong and supportive communities for everyone!

Nebraska is Home invites you to join others throughout our state and across the nation in the Belonging Begins with Us movement. Through individual actions and engaging your workplace, faith group or your whole town, we can play a part in creating welcoming and inclusive communities where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
