Child Saving Institute (CSI) has a 131-year legacy in the Omaha community serving children and families in-need of additional support during challenging times. Throughout its history, CSI has adjusted its services to meet the changing needs of the community and continues to do so to this very day.
Currently serving more than 2,500 children and families each year, CSI provides life-changing services for all children—infants to young adults including Early Childhood Education, Therapy, Foster Care, parenting education and support, Pediatric Social Work, an Emergency Shelter, the Triage Center at Project Harmony, and more.
While the only certainty is change, CSI evolves with its surrounding community. At CSI, we strive to strengthen children, empower families and connect communities, today and long into the future.
Please look through our list of services to see how we can help you and your family make your way to happiness and success. Or, if you feel as strongly as we do about the importance of childhood, please make a gift and support the children who live in our community.
The mission of CSI is "responding to the cry of a child."
Our vision is that all children have homes where hope is kindled and dreams can be achieved. This is our work, and they are ALL our children.
Do what's best for kids.
Never give up on a kid.
We can always do more for kids.
Kids deserve strong, healthy families.
The work culture we create and support is rooted in the agency fundamentals.
