Compass | Foster Care, Family, & Therapeutic Services in Nebraska

Helping Children and Families Navigate Life

BEYOND the need for foster and adoptive parents.

There should be more families waiting for children than children waiting for families. That is our goal. Foster and adoptive families need resources and support to create nurturing home environments for children.

Become a Foster Parent

BEYOND the need for services for families.

Families in crisis should have access to resources and services so they can provide a secure base for their children.

See How You Can Help

Nebraska children deserve a happy and fulfilled childhood beyond their wildest imagination.

Yet happiness is out of reach for hundreds of children in our own neighborhoods. It’s impossible to dream of a bright future when your family struggles with complex issues.

A child’s fullest potential is launched from an upbringing based in safety, security and belonging.

Compass is determined to guide children and families beyond the theatre of living room wars into possibilities of peace yet unknown. We invest in the lives of foster parents, children and families in crisis to inspire hope for one child at a time.

We choose to go BEYOND.

There aren't words enough to praise this organization. The care, quality and compassion the staff have for foster children is bar none. The careful vetting of prospective foster parents is impressive along with the care and support received by the entire family. The staff are each unique in their approach to children and adults. As a foster parent, I highly recommend Compass if you are considering becoming one. Talk with them and learn the value of such a blessed calling to serve our community.

"Compass is a compassionate group of men and women that are spiritually based and have developed a great agency to serve, not only the workers, team and community, but other agencies and every human they can.”

“Compass has a team that is always willing to do what is asked and timely. They have done an excellent job of ensuring that needs are met, for children and families, their own staff and my agency.”

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’Matthew 18:1-3
