Around the world, proven global health and nutrition programs are already saving lives by delivering lifesaving vaccines, improving child nutrition, and expanding access to basic health care.
But progress is fragile. Millions of children still lack these basic supports, and last year, for the first time this century, the number of children dying before their fifth birthday increased.
The decisions the U.S. Congress makes about global health and nutrition programs will help determine whether these lifesaving efforts reach the children and families who need them most. Advocates like you can help shape that.
That’s why we’re growing a stronger network of advocates in Nebraska and inviting new leaders to help bring the voices and values of their communities directly to Congress.
At RESULTS, advocacy isn’t about sending one message and hoping for change. It’s about building respectful, ongoing relationships with the staff and elected officials who shape policy.
Our volunteers work together to build relationships with congressional offices, share their values, and advocate for global policies that save lives and expand opportunity.
Many advocates grow into a leadership role we call a Congressional Point Person, helping coordinate communication with a congressional office and build a strong, ongoing relationship with that office over time.

After completing the training, you’ll continue to receive hands-on mentoring and support from experienced RESULTS staff.
Members of Congress make better decisions when they hear directly from the people they represent.
If you’re ready to grow your leadership and help build a future where everyone can thrive, we’d love to connect with you.
