OUR STORY


Identify, Train, Empower

At the Lincoln Institute of California, we believe in unlocking this state's great potential.  The Golden State should always serve as a beacon of opportunity and prosperity.  In order to discover California's greatness, it requires supporting the next generation of students that will help guide our state in the years to come.

Our organization is a hyperlocal and innovative nonprofit that is focused on incubating new ideas to achieve our goal.  

The Lincoln Institute knows California’s next leaders are on our college campuses. We are dedicated to finding them, making them more effective leaders today, and preparing them to guide the Golden State to a brighter future.

Our two programs, Future Leaders of California and Project 307, are designed to support this mission.
