The Ryan Nece Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Tampa, Florida, founded in 2006 by former NFL player Ryan Nece. It focuses on developing teen leadership through service-learning opportunities and leadership programs, aiming to address low civic engagement in Florida by providing structured, school- and community-based programming. The foundation operates two complementary initiatives in the Greater Tampa Bay region: a community-based Student Service Program and a school-based Student Service Club model that brings leadership education into high school classrooms during regular hours, with transportation provided for service projects. Through these programs, the organization serves thousands of students across dozens of schools and tracks outcomes such as increased leadership application in daily life and continued engagement in service projects. As the foundation expands into Pinellas and Pasco Counties, it continues to build regional youth leadership infrastructure designed to foster lifelong civic participation.
