ServeNebraska's mission is to mobilize Nebraskans to strengthen their communities through volunteering, collaboration and national service programs. 

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, volunteers serve across the state to advance environmental education, strengthen partnerships, and connect communities to conservation resources.

In this Volunteer Spotlight, Caitlyn shares how serving as an AmeriCorps volunteer with Conservation Nebraska 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.
