At Rural Prosperity Nebraska, we understand that the more we share, the more we create a vibrant and enriching environment for us all. Whether through an exchange in beliefs, perspectives, backgrounds, races, or cultures, Nebraskans thrive when we collaborate, work, and prosper together. The Rural Prosperity Nebraska team embraces that togetherness through two statewide programs, led by our own Extension educators, that not only honor the histories of cultures that make up Nebraska, but also integrate them more fully into the fabric of Nebraska’s future.

Native American communities and organizations strengthen their relationships and partnerships with Nebraska Extension through the Native American Coalition (NAC). The work of the NAC is to help Nebraska Extension staff work more effectively with Native American communities; to build bridges between tribal and non-tribal communities; to facilitate community development and leadership in Native communities; and to bring Native American traditional worldviews, languages, cultures, and histories to the University of Nebraska and non-tribal communities.
