Collective Impact Lincoln

Collective Impact Lincoln supports resident-led investment and positive change in the city’s core neighborhoods. Through canvassing, community events, and Community Builder Workshops, we help neighbors examine their communities’ strengths and identify new ways to improve.

A partnership between Civic Nebraska and Nebraska Appleseed, Collective Impact Lincoln focuses on Belmont, Clinton, Everett, Hartley, Near South, and University Place neighborhoods.
