Our Mission
The Lesniak Institute for American Leadership is on a mission to promote civic engagement by empowering the next generation of leaders through public service, internships, educational initiatives, and community partnerships.
Our History
The Institute was founded by former NJ Senator Raymond J. Lesniak who realized the need for an institution that teaches action-driven advocacy in addition to awareness. On a mission to train the next generation of American leaders since January 2018, the Lesniak Institute opened its first headquarters at Kean University in Union, NJ.
