Students
The John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute is dedicated providing quality leadership training opportunities for young Texans. We provide training materials for one day leadership seminars (the Shepperd Edge) and full-year leadership courses (Rising to the Challenge). Coming in the Fall of 2017, we will introduce the new JBS Crisis Leadership and Learning Center (CLLC), an interactive training experience that will be available in person and online. Check back for more details or come by our office to see for yourself!
