The Rural Impact Hub and Lead for Nebraska (LFNE) are pleased to share a partnership with the American Connection Corps (ACC). This 10-state initiative focused on rural broadband expansion and connectivity will place fellows within a network of over 50 others doing work throughout the country.

Lead for Nebraska is a fellowship organization that recruits, trains, and places young leaders ages 21-30 to serve in paid two-year fellowships to strengthen local organizations in Nebraska. Our specific focus is centered around expanding rural broadband access, digital literacy, and general economic development for our rural communities.
