Nebraska Community Foundation (NCF)(NebraskaHometown.org) is pleased to announce new roles for two former Hometown Interns, empowering them to further help NCF’s team of talented professionals build a Greater Nebraska.
Hannah Miller of Shickley and Natalie Roberts of McCook, both juniors at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, join NCF as Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Fellows, new roles that will support and unleash the gifts of the 2026 cohort of Hometown Interns. Both are former Hometown Interns, giving them unique insights that will help as they foster ABCD education and create avenues for learning and engagement for new and returning interns, community-based affiliated funds and Greater Nebraska Youth. This will be Miller’s third year with NCF following two summers as a Hometown Intern with the Shickley Community Foundation Fund, an affiliated fund of NCF. Roberts served as a Hometown Intern for McCook Community Foundation Fund, also an NCF affiliated fund.
After spending time away, Hometown Interns return to their community to re-engage with their place, cultivate self-assurance, exchange knowledge and help infuse fresh perspectives and an asset-based approach into their affiliated funds’ local initiatives. Miller and Roberts will support the Hometown Internship experience through curriculum design and facilitation, peer learning session curation, and the creation of continued learning opportunities.
