The Nebraska Humane Society protects, saves and enriches the lives of animals in the communities we serve.
A good home for every pet. To achieve that, we will be working more and more, outside the shelter to offer support and guidance for all pet owners.
At the Nebraska Humane Society we are united by our mission to create a more humane world for people and animals. We are inspired to promote and support a respectful environment that is diverse and inclusive of all people, in every aspect of our organization.
We commit to:
- Align our organization's vision, mission and values to the broader equity issues being faced by the communities we serve.
- Champion a thriving organization for our staff, volunteers, guests and donors that is representative of the communities we serve, and where each of us feels an authentic sense of belonging.
- Continue to foster cultural equity with attention to internal policies, practices and behaviors.
- Attract and retain employees, volunteers, donors and board members who are of diverse backgrounds.
- Generate and aggregate quantitative and qualitative research to make measurable progress toward cultural equity more visible.
