Connecting Young Nebraskans (CYN) is an affiliate fund of the Nebraska Community Foundation.

It is a statewide network designed to empower young Nebraskans to connect, lead, and shape the future of our communities and state. CYN focuses on enhancing the opportunities for individuals ages 21–40 to impact their communities through networking and learning experiences.

The CYN Network is a dynamic and diverse group of peers with a passion for making a difference, a willingness to learn and the desire to build important relationships that will impact the future.

As young leaders, we want to make a difference at work and in our communities. The CYN network connects us with others that have the same passion for creating better places to live, work and play.
