Help Me Grow Nebraska is a collective impact model where partner organizations come together to act as a connection point so young children can thrive.
This network of community resources works like a power grid. When the grid functions well, families can plug into an organized flow of resources and easily access the ones they need.
Families benefit as Help Me Grow listens to them, links them to services and provides ongoing support through this interconnected system.
