Participants understand the benefits of service learning and its connections to other key frameworks such as AAC&U High Impact Practices, 40 Developmental Assets, 21st Century Skills, and standards-driven curriculum.

CFASN requested podcast and YouTube videos be made around the policies that affect the top ten initiatives of CFASN. Groups of students chose one policy topic/theme to prepare as audio/visual report which Coalition for a Strong Nebraska can use for educational purposes. The students interviewed a participating nonprofit about the policy issue, conducted research on the policy and topic, wrote a script, and created a 2 minute pod cast or video. UNO students created a space for the podcast to be published. Videos were approved and posted to the CFASN YouTube page. | ||
