Launch!

The Launch! program is a year-long venture that guides high school FFA members from the ideation phase of entrepreneurship all the way to the establishment of a sustainable, school-based enterprise. FFA chapters accepted into Launch! take part in entrepreneurship training throughout the school year led by Engler alumnus and mentors. Participants also have the opportunity to compete in a pitch competition for funding that will help “Launch!” their business ideas!

Founded in 2018 as a collaboration between the Engler Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Nebraska FFA Foundation, this program aims to provide high school students with the support and motivation they need to start a business within their FFA chapters. From Ogallala to Omaha, dozens of Nebraska FFA chapters have participated in Launch! since its debut.
