NORTH PLATTE, NEB - The Banister Leadership Academy is a nonprofit that helps strengthen youth and families through leadership skills, life skills, social skills, and job readiness. The program is offered for kids k-12. "We have various different programs geared towards the community and the kids' ages," said Tiffany Hernandez. "They come in, we feed them a hot meal and we teach them those leadership skills." 

The fundraising event going on August 5th is a free will donation car wash from 11am - 2pm at Wash Time North on the corner of 12th and Jeffers. "We are a nonprofit, so we are always doing local fundraisers, so we have a free will donation car wash this Saturday," said Hernandez. "If you come during your lunch break, Rowdy Rott BBQ is also going to have their truck there and they are donating 10% of their proceeds to our (Banisters Leadership Academy) nonprofit."
