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.

Today we met the members of our NOLA service teams, during the trip orientation - some are returning veterans of previous trips and some are brand new. It was good to learn about your backgrounds and your purpose for being part of this experience. There was so much energy in the air that I can image the great bonding that will occur among each team. Look forward to our work and building frendships. You are all now alumni of the NLU's Partnership with NOLA Schools Project.
See you in Naw'leans
