Launch’s Summer Leadership Workshops have been running for over 60 years! Workshop is a five-day, four-night, fun-packed, experiential leadership experience for students entering grades 6–12, hosted on Doane University's campus in Crete, Nebraska.
Launch Workshop brings out the best in students. We’ve developed an endlessly supportive environment that enables student leaders to let go of their day-to-day baggage and be the best version of themselves. Once they realize their own potential, there’s no turning back. Students are challenged to better understand themselves, those around them, and the impact they can make as leaders, all through a bunch of hands-on activities. Our activities are created to make students think, not tell them how to think, nor to give them all of the answers.
We’ve discovered students learn best from each other. Each student is paired with a small group (co-op) for the week. Through their shared experiences, co-ops become like families. Lifelong bonds are formed. Many of our Staffers started as students at Workshop and can attest that friendships formed through Launch stick for longer than just the summer or the school year; they go on for decades.
High school camps are for current 9th through 12th grade students. YNS summer camps introduce campers to some of today’s most important topics in science, technology and engineering. Campers will get hands-on experience in and outside of the lab.

We wanted to share details about the amazing things that Omaha area high school students are doing as a part of our monthly Youth Leadership Network (YLN) and an upcoming youth leadership opportunity for your students.
Over the past year, Youth Leadership Network students traveled to Lincoln to learn about the legislative process, meet with state senators and the Governor’s office, advocate for a legislative study about how increasing the price of alcohol could strengthen communities and save lives, and request a bill (Sen. Juarez did introduce it as LB 330) to create a 10% alcohol sales tax. More importantly, they also asked Senator Juarez to use the approximately $120 million in annual revenue to hire mental health and social workers in our school systems and help fund the prevention and treatment of alcohol misuse!
These students also began surveying how alcohol is being sold in their communities, which had led to their inclusion in a national research project. These students have truly been amazing leaders on behalf of their schools and their communities. We are looking forward to helping them grow the Youth Leadership Network and hoping that you will spread the word to students in your school that would be a good fit.
The Youth Leadership Network is open to current and incoming 8-12th graders in the Omaha Metro wanting to improve the health and safety of their communities by advocating for policies that are proven to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harms such as underage drinking, impaired driving, alcohol-related cancers, unintended pregnancies, and more. The group typically meets on the third Monday of each month during the school year. In addition, youth can serve on the Project Extra Mile Board of Directors (there are currently two youth board members), and each year the organization awards one $1,000 youth leadership scholarship to help them further their education.
