Description : In addition to being a Boys and Girls Club Legacy site, we also host Camp Nakomis every summer. The camp office is in need of a face lift. We would utilize volunteers to help paint the camp office/shelves and storage area as well as organize the space. In addition, we have New Employee Orientation packets that will also need to be put together for the remainder of the year. The extra hands would be of great help!

Description : UNO Education students in Dr. Sandra Rodriguez-Arroyo's TED 8130: Language, Culture, and Power course work with youth from Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands to create presentations about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on language, culture, and power. Through the project, the students build relationships with each other in virtual meeting rooms by participating in activities and small group discussion. The goal of the interactions is to empower the Boys & Girls Club students in developing their own voice and power while UNO students receive firsthand experience in discussing and applying course topics and frameworks.
