This past summer, the D2 Center kicked off a partnership with our colleagues at the UNO Service Learning Academy P-16 Initiative, a program that brings together area P-12 students with UNO curriculum through service learning experiences that “connect learning outcomes with community identified needs while meeting curriculum and course standards.” The UNO P-16 Initiative works in partnership with Building Bright Futures, the parent organization of the D2 Center.

On Sunday, August 12, 2012, the D2 Center celebrated the start of the school year with our students, parents, youth advocates (Youth Academic Navigators, called YANs) and staff. We started off with a meal of pizza, pop, veggies, and cookies, followed by an introduction to the D2 Center from director Greg Emmel. The D2 Center supports out-of-school students returning to an educational program, and offers elective credit classes along with the Careers & Community Engagement Program, where students explore various careers paths and learn resume-building, interview skills and other soft skills to help with future careers.
