Nebraska Leadership Seminar, Inc. (NLS) is a four-day leadership seminar for Nebraska high school sophomores. At NLS, students are challenged, empowered, and inspired. Through interactive activities and personal interaction with other leaders in a fun and relaxing learning environment, NLS helps students grow as leaders by developing their own strengths and working with the strengths of others. Students are encouraged to use their strengths and leadership skills to benefit their local communities.

[edit] About

The Nebraska Leadership Seminar, Inc. (NLS) was founded in 1978 and incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1983. From its inception the goal of NLS has been to provide future Nebraska leaders with an opportunity to identify and develop their leadership skills by participating in a four-day residential conference environment.

NLS targets Nebraska high school students between their sophomore and junior year. All Nebraska high schools have the opportunity to nominate two (2) students, referred to as delegates, to participate in this unique experience. Students receiving this honor are exposed to interactive team building activities, prominent Nebraska business leaders, current events discussions, and a community service project aiding them in the discovery, development, and application of their leadership skills. Delegates are encouraged and supported as they voice their personal perspectives while learning to appreciate and respect opinions that differ from their own. Peer interaction is built into the program to promote bonds and friendship with other student leaders from across the state. Further adding to the experience, in 2001 NLS partnered with the Gallup Organization offering delegates the opportunity to participate in the Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment.
