CEDARS Logo with Text, “Here for kids. Here for families.”

CEDARS is a nonprofit organization that works to ensure all kids have a safe environment where they can grow and thrive. We’ve been committed to helping kids reach safety, stability and enduring family relationships since 1947. Today, through a continuum of nationally accredited services, we provide care
for:
-Children and youth who are unable to live at home.
-Families in need of resources, support and education.
-Youth in need of intervention services.

CEDARS has been a staple in the Lincoln community for more than 75 years. To best serve Nebraska’s kids, we have grown the reach and scope of our services, evolving to meet the needs of the kids who need us most. CEDARS has had a presence in the Omaha metro area since 2015, but in the past several
years, that office has experienced exponential growth. With an emphasis on supporting foster families, our Omaha team proudly cares for roughly 200 kids each day.

While we celebrate this exciting growth within the Omaha area, there are still a countless number of kids needing help in this community. One of the most heartbreaking parts of our work is having to turn away these kids due to a lack of foster homes. CEDARS believes that every child deserves a safe and stable home, and this can only be accomplished with the support of community members that share that same belief.

How will you be here for kids? Apply today to be a foster parent at CEDARSkids.org. If you’re unable to open your home at this time, visit CEDARSkids.org to make a donation or join our team.
