We do not receive funding from the government or special groups. Donation Information: Founded by three agricultural teachers, The Leadership Center was initially established to teach Nebraska FFA students leadership skills. Over the years, we’ve transformed into a full- service retreat and conference center, providing event coordination, expanded leadership programs, lodging, and catering. Between serving thousands of annual guests (both on and off property), offering a diverse selection of services, and employing over 30 community members, our impact is significant. Among our key programs is the Summer Food Service Program (AKA the “The Lunch Bunch”), a free lunch and enrichment initiative for local youth, now spanning three communities. Our education team also oversees our D4LC (Disciplines 4 LeadershipCommunities) youth programs, impacting over 2,400 students annually. Additionally, we strive to foster a community where artists can both grow and play, by hosting annual events such as the T.L.C. Fall Art Workshop and the Winter Art Runaway. These events are enjoyed by both local artists and creatives from across the nation. Youcanalsodonatefromthecomfortofyourownhomefromyourlaptop,phoneortabletbyvisiting www.GoBigGive.org.
