Topics:
Description : This service-learning project partnered students from two University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) courses with the Center for Immigrant and Refugee Advancement (CIRA) to provide hands-on support for refugee resettlement and explore career paths in the non-profit sector. Students had the opportunity to visit a CIRA apartment designated for a refugee family, where they assisted with setting up furniture and household items. This experience allowed them to gain firsthand experience in the resettlement process and understand the challenges faced by newcomers. In addition, CIRA staff members visited UNO to share their personal and professional journeys, providing students with insights into the rewards and challenges of working with refugee populations. These presentations aimed to inspire students to consider careers in non-profit organizations serving community needs. EXPL 1010.001 Traditional
