About CSI
Our story begins in Omaha in 1892, when, due to epidemics, poverty, and the difficulties of pioneer life, many children were left in need of parental care. CSI met the need in a revolutionary way—putting the well-being of children first and working to be a voice for the voiceless. We seek to champion children and families by providing the mental, emotional, and physical spaces they need to feel empowered and to thrive.
