Giving back to the community and the region
Service Learning is a method of teaching that combines classroom instruction with meaningful community service. This form of learning emphasizes critical thinking and personal reflection while encouraging a heightened sense of community, civic engagement, and personal responsibility.
ILUNO Intensive English students practice English while serving the local community.
ILUNO's innovative service-learning class has partnered with Beveridge Middle School, Nebraska Neighbors, the Omaha Food Bank, and additional organizations throughout Omaha and surrounding areas.
