A Good Life for Everyone

As in years past, new immigration to Nebraska is bringing exciting opportunities and new neighbors to our communities. Nebraska Is Home is an effort by Nebraskans from all walks of life—business, education, community, and faith—who are proud of our welcoming state and who are working together to build Nebraska’s future.

We celebrate our shared values and recognize the great contributions new families bring to our communities, both economically as well as in the richness of our combined culture and traditions. It is for this reason that Nebraska Is Home supports community conversations about our shared values.

As a country, we have many times overcome what divides us. Through the community efforts of Nebraska Is Home, we look forward to working together to ensure our shared future, purpose, and prosperity. We are stronger together.

Nebraska. A good life for everyone.
