The Lesniak Institute for American Leadership is developing the next generation of American leaders by teaching the principles of effective advocacy, offering first-hand experience through its causes, and partnering with grassroots organizations.
The Institute was founded by former NJ Senator Raymond J. Lesniak who realized the need for an institution that teaches action-driven advocacy in addition to awareness. On a mission to train the next generation of American leaders since January 2018, the Lesniak Institute opened its first headquarters at Kean University in Union, NJ.

What are these 'seeds?'
It was quite the night! Great people WOW!
'PromoSM' 🍀
Ah, so excited to see this out! It was such a pleasure to come chat with you all, thank you again for having me. If anyone reading this is debating interning at the Lesniak Institute: DO IT!!
Not SSRIs which can increase suicidality, but otherwise I think it's a good idea to at least explore more
Ok that makes sense....BUT, a minor can not legally enter into a financial contract, and most of them don't even know their insurance information....so is this health care treatment free? How will they determine financial responsibility? And how are the parents going to be held liable for payment if they didn't agree to the treatment?
This bill was just introduced in NJ on January 9th and has been referred to the Children, Families, and Food Security Committee! When there are any updates on Bill A2874 we'll be sure to make another video! You can read up on this bill on the njleg website by searching for bill A2874 in the 2024/2025 session. Thanks so much for the questions, we're excited to find out more information!
I appreciate his advocacy for black bears in New Jersey.
I love the word “deserving.” Everyone deserves presents.
It was a special night for everyone :)
I live in Newark NJ and there is a stray cat around my house looks sick, not a wild cat and I want to help the cat because needs medical attention somebody can give me some information about what to do ? I’ll appreciate any help 🙏🙏🙏
It always seems that the burden of dealing with ferals falls on the people who are negatively effected by them. There's an estimated 10,000 feral cats in our town. A lot of the people feeding them do little else, such as getting a license, rabies vaccination, spay/neuter. The woman next door to us has about a dozen cats running around and doesn't seem to be interested in doing the right thing. They leave their turds where I grow my food, they pee on my mail and packages, and my dog and wife have both been bitten and scratched by a few of them when they wander into our back yard. We've tried approaching her but she becomes verbally abusive. FWIW We've taken 2 cats into our home and made indoor petsout of them. They get regular vet appointments and vaccinations. It's exhausting.
Thank you Raymond for directing me to this this morning. On the day after the big cat protection act was signed into law this is truly a gift.
Love it!!!! Don't miss out > Promo-SM !!
Good! Let's end those disgusting practices in NJ.

HUGE Thank YOU for rescuing our Animals -- for them, it's life and death -- for us, it's going out of our way just a little for a lifetime of love -- this is so doable -- let's do it -- again, THANK YOU Senator Lesniak and your wonderful Team.
Mr. Lesniak you are the best friend to animals. You should have been our Governor. God bless you.
Thank you Senator Lesniak for the support of TNR(trap, neuter, return). As a colony caregiver, trapper and cat shelter builder it's financially hard to do the right thing and get all the cats we care for on the streets fixed. It can't just be the feeder's cost to bare while the community turns a blind eye to the overpopulation issue in this country and many others. Those poor abandoned cats whose owners did not fix them have contributed to the stray and feral cat population. Ignorance and low income perpetuate the circumstances even further. When/How does this law equate to funds for #TNR ? Will those who've paid out of pocket get reimbursed for their efforts so we can #spayitforward? There are so many more cat's I/we know about that lack of funding prevents me/many of us who do TNR from helping without that fund$ hesitation.
thank you so much for your your support for these poor animals who need all the help they can get from all of us
Clever part 93
Let’s DO THE RIGHT THING - REINSTATE the HUNTING BAN in Botswana - save the Elephants and other magnificent Animals - let's RESTORE ALL highly-threatened species - the abuse and murder of Elephants is unconscionable, insane, depravedly sadistic, cruel, immoral & hateful - we MUST STOP this NOW -- PUNISHMENTS & PENALTIES MUST BE SEVERE - There are a myriad of ways to MAKE MONEY - STOP using, abusing, murdering Animals - for the love of God, leave them alone - let them LIVE.
Wow!!!!!!!! Great!!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!!!!
peoble shall hold fingre away from animal in nature------ freedom
Thank you for speaking for those who cannot!
love this! :) makes me sooo happy!
Love you Selena 🙏
Great story!!!! 👍🏼♥️😺
This looks so awesome! Can't wait to join the cause!
We need more animal protection legislation, a complete change in the Department of Fish & Wildlife, and it should be a felony for anyone abusing, neglecting or torturing an animal. Go Senator Lesniak (my choice for Governor).
Great design - love it ! Senator Lesniak RULES
Be sure to get yours today! Visit lesniakinstitute.com/humane to enter your name and email to commit to the plate.
Wish "farm" animals were represented on the plate. They need a voice, too, and deserve just as much attention and compassion!
We understand and wish that every animal could be represented on the plate. However, the plate only affords a small space and Kelly from High Technology High School won our design contest for her design. Her design represents the different areas of advocacy from bear hunting, circus animals, and fighting for Desmond's Law. We hope you understand and join our fight to keep animals in NJ safe, by joining The Humane State and committing to the plate today.
Love the design! Thank you for being a voice for animals in our State, Senator!
Thank you for sharing your support! Don't forget to commit to the plate at lesniakinstitute.com/humane We need 750 commitments in order to start printing the plate!
This is fantastic! Thank you, Senator Lesniak!
So happy you love it! Have you committed to the plate at lesniakinstitute.com/humane ?
