Description : The goal of this evaluation plan (statement of work) is to provide an independent evaluation of the effectiveness and fiscal impact of the family finding statewide pilot as stipulated in Legislative Bill 243 (Section 8). This evaluation will be conducted by the Support and Training for the Evaluation of Programs (STEPs) program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

Family finding is the process of engagement, searching, preparation, planning, decision-making, lifetime network creation, healing, and permanency (Sections 1-3). a. Search for and identify family members and engage them in planning and decision-making. b. Gain commitments from family members to support a child through nurturing relationships c. Achieve a safe, permanent legal home or lifelong connection for the child, either through reunification or through permanent placement through legal guardianship or adoption. 2. Prevent recurrence of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or other maltreatment of children. 3. Reduce the length of time children spend in foster care. 4.

Description : UNO students hired as Collaborative interns are matched with community organizations, working 10 hours a week for that organization in the community. Students are paid through the grant-funded program. Nonprofits coordinate meaningful work for interns to benefit the student experience in different ways. Students typically intern during the fall and spring semesters and may serve the same organization for more than one academic year. Each unique student that works as a Collaborative intern with this specific community partner is identified within this project.
