OGALLALA COMMONS INC

The mission of Ogallala Commons is based on a concept called the commons, an idea originating in late-medieval European societies, as well as practices that are utilized in communal resource management around the world. Ogallala Commons was initiated in 1999 as a resource development network for reinvigorating the depleted commonwealth in the High Plains region of the Great Plains, and continues to function according to that original vision. In its almost 20 years of operation, it has grown into a thriving organization. The OC Community Intern program was launched in 2007, and since that time, Ogallala Commons has created over 400 internships and apprenticeships that provide candidates with work experience and professional skill building.
