LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Three Nebraska towns will participate in the Nebraska Community Improvement Program Leadership Development Challenge.
Pawnee City, Red Cloud and Union will be involved in the program offered through the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
The Challenge offers curriculum to help communities build on their current leadership and volunteerism levels.
Pawnee City and Union are hoping to encourage more citizens to step into leadership positions, such as serving on the city council. Red Cloud's goal is to expand its leadership base to include younger people.
