Interested in Service Learning Classes?

For students, choosing classes that contain a service learning component brings them out of the classroom and into the community.

Every semester, there are a variety of courses at UNO that incorporate service learning. Students like you are given the opportunity to apply classroom curriculum to actual community needs. The opportunities provide a means of learning about the surrounding community and the organizations that serve those in need and take on important issues within the community. By doing your part, you will strengthen skills that will help you progress through your studies and/or career.

More information is available on the UNO Service Learning Academy Website.
