Welcome...to Central Plains Center for Services

Mission Statement: Offering opportunities for positive change to individuals, families and communities.

Central Plains Center for Services, located in the heart of Nebraska, provides a variety of opportunities for positive change to individuals, families, and communities throughout the entire state. 

The following programs are currently being offered. See additional information about each program on this website. 

§         Parents (and their babies to age 3) are enjoying the many advantages of being involved in our Custer County Parents As Teachers Program.

§         Current and former foster youth who are focused on independence may receive one-on-one support, guidance and encouragement to aid them through the challenges of self sufficiency. PALS (Preparation for Adult Living Services) program specialists are located across the state of Nebraska.

§         An exciting youth program is the administration of the  Education and Training Vouchers. In collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services we are administering financial aid for eligible former state wards thus allowing them to pursue post secondary educational opportunities. How wonderful to be a part of a program that may be the key to a successful future for many disadvantaged youth!

Another aspect of our agency is the provision of workshops for first and second time law violators. These Rehabilitation/Diversion Workshops are available in Kearney, North Platte, Lexington and Broken Bow. These group classes encourage participants to look at their beliefs, their behavior, their consequences, their decisions and their future.
