Welcome to the George E. Pataki Leadership and Learning Center

The mission of the George E. Pataki Leadership and Learning Center is to educate students on how state government operates, how it affects their everyday lives and the crucial importance of public service in our state and nation.

The Center is a non-partisan organization that encourages students of all ages to be active participants in student government and their communities. Initially, the Center will focus on providing educational programming for students in the 4th through 8th grades whose courses include the study of New York State Government. The Center’s curriculum and activities will draw primarily from the experiences of New York’s 53rd Governor, George E. Pataki. The Committee for the Governor George E. Pataki Leadership and Learning Center (“Center” or “George E. Pataki Leadership and Learning Center”) is a New York not for profit organization established to raise the funds to organize, build and charter the Center.
