Leadership Training

The Shepperd Leadership Institute will be launching their Leadership Initiatives in keeping with the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute's original vision: to provide young Texans an education for and about leadership, ethics, and public service.

In this re-imagining of the Shepperd Leadership Institute we aim to keep our hearts on the original foundation of the Institute and Jon Ben Shepperd’s incredible legacy and build on the potential to foster well-rounded young people whose world view is broader for having interacted with the Institute and Jon Ben Shepperd’s legacy.

The Shepperd Leadership Institute will fully support and manage the Archer Fellowship. Additionally, we have begun a new partnership with the UT System and local State Representatives to create a program which will connect UTPB students with internship opportunities in Austin with State government representatives and agencies. It is our hope that these programs will continue and enhance the Shepperd Leadership Insitute’s tradition of public service.

In keeping with the original intent of the Institute, the Shepperd Institute will continue to be proactive in the community and provide leadership programming and training to young Texans! We will seek to provide leadership training and opportunities to school aged youth which will enhance their ability to be future community leaders.
