Leadership Lincoln engages individuals from diverse backgrounds by providing them with the knowledge, experiences, skills and leadership tools that prepare them to become effective leaders within the community.

We offer four classes including Fellows, Executive, Academy for Local Leadership and Youth. 

Each year our Fellows program brings together individuals from across the community. They meet once a month and by the end of the year, they graduate filled with the understanding of what makes Lincoln tick and a sincere desire to get engaged through their service on a board, as a volunteer and/or reaching out as an individual to help those around them.

Senior executives from all aspects of the Lincoln community, both new to town and long-time residents, gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing Lincoln and at the same time make connections across all levels and types of organizations that make up our city.

Acting on requests from public officials and agency directors, we conduct The Academy for Local Leadership (formerly known as Project ALL) to orient participants about and prepare them for service on a nonprofit board or public commission. Past participants in The Academy now serve on the Lincoln City Council, on city and county commissions and volunteer with a number of Lincoln’s nonprofit organizations.

Participants in our Youth program are high school sophomores. They spend one day a month together discovering there are others like them outside their geographic bubble who live in other parts of the city and county. They grow to understand how our city, county and state function, they gain a deeper understanding of businesses in Lincoln and they broaden their understanding of Lincoln’s nonprofit sector as well.

We have more than 3,000 alumni who have been through our programs since we were founded. Leadership Lincoln offers regular opportunities for our alumni to learn and discuss current issues affecting our community.
