Since 2007, the public schools of New Orleans (NOLA) have benefited from university volunteers engaged in service-learning experiences. Teacher candidates,and faculty from NLU work with NOLA teachers to help clean and set-up classrooms, develop curriculum and libraries, and prepare materials for children beginning the new school year. Service-learning experiences transform pre-service teachers into civically engaged educators and active community leaders.

Weather in NOLA
To those of you going next week - check the weather, but it was HOT outside and on the cable cars! Most places had a/c, and then, especially if you were working in one of the school offices, it was often cold so bring a lightweight jacket or sweater to the school just in case. Also, keep in mind that even though school may not be in session, there are lots of kids around so dress appropriately - shorts and tshirts should be modest and while the staff was always quite dressed up, the casual clothing for volunteers seemed to be acceptable at KIPP.
