Nebraska’s landscape is more than prairie — it’s rivers, wetlands, urban parks, wildlife habitats, and the communities that depend on them. Through Conservation Nebraska’s AmeriCorps program, members serve across the state to advance environmental education, strengthen partnerships, and connect communities to conservation resources.
In this Member Spotlight, Caitlyn shares how serving with Conservation Nebraska’s AmeriCorps program is creating real impact through outreach, relationship-building, and hands-on community engagement — and why environmental education is critical to protecting the places we call home.

In honor of ServeNebraska’s 30th Anniversary in 2024, the commission introduced the Nebraska Volunteer Week Youth Service Grant initiative to help reverse the decline of volunteer participation across the country in recent years. These small but mighty grants were created to engage young people in taking an active role in strengthening their communities and learning about the importance—and satisfaction—of service.
