Every year, the UNO Service Learning Academy (SLA) brings P-12 and UNO educators together to learn and understand the value of service learning. This year the seminar is virtual.
Sessions are held on July 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, with daily start and end times available soon.
The annual 4.5-day seminar brings together teams of P-12 educators, UNO faculty members, and community partners with the goal of developing a collaborative service learning project that can be implemented within the next 18 months. The seminar takes place after school to support P-12 educators.
