Anti-Violence Engagement Coordinator

The Nebraska Alliance is a growing nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing Nebraska’s response to child abuse and neglect through the CAC model. We serve as the nationally accredited state chapter and membership organization for Child Advocacy Centers in Nebraska (CACs).

We strengthen the CAC model approach by providing training, technical assistance, and capacity-building support; fostering statewide partnerships; and leading advocacy efforts that advance coordinated, trauma-informed responses for children and families.

How we work matters as much as what we do. Our organization is grounded in three core values:

Collaboration:

We work in partnership with diverse people, organizations, and systems to make a difference for children and families.

Commitment:
We care deeply about this work and consistently go above and beyond to support our partners and the communities they serve.

Leadership:
We ask critical questions, take on complex statewide initiatives, and work collaboratively to find solutions that move systems forward.

This role is designed for a collaborative professional who is passionate about improving outcomes for children, youth, and families affected by violence and exploitation. The ideal candidate excels at building relationships, facilitating partnerships, and bringing people together around shared goals. They are comfortable working across disciplines, supporting diverse stakeholders, and helping move initiatives from planning to implementation. Success in this position requires strong communication, project coordination, and problem-solving skills, along with a commitment to advancing trauma-informed and youth-centered practices.

Position Summary

The Anti-Violence Engagement Coordinator strengthens Nebraska's anti-violence infrastructure by coordinating statewide initiatives, fostering collaboration, and supporting capacity-building efforts across the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) network and partner systems. Working closely with CACs and cross-sector partners, this role supports initiatives focused on child and youth trafficking, family/domestic violence, and youth-serving systems, including juvenile justice and probation, to improve the response, intervention, and prevention of children, youth, and families impacted by violence and exploitation.

Key responsibilities include coordinating anti-violence initiatives, supporting the implementation of evidence-informed and trauma-responsive practices, facilitating cross-system partnerships, and helping elevate youth voice through leadership and engagement opportunities. This role also supports collaboration among CACs, child welfare, juvenile justice, probation, victim services, and community partners to strengthen services and improve outcomes for children and families.
