During the school year, the D2 Center offers ongoing elective credit classes and tutoring in math and reading for D2 Center students. Our Careers & Community Engagement program also allows career exploration and guidance. These are great opportunities to receive one-on-one assistance from certified teachers. Please see the schedule below.
In mid-December, D2 Center co-director Greg Emmel, YAN Alberto Gonzales, Jerry Bexten from The Sherwood Foundation and I attended the annual Dropout Re-engagement Network meeting, the “Re-engagement Plus Convening,” in Los Angeles. This is the third such conference Greg and I have attended, and the number of attendees has grown every year – this time there were about 150 attendees.
We’re pleased to offer students the opportunity to help our community and earn hours toward a Careers & Community Engagement Program elective credit. The University of Nebraska-Omaha Office of Civic and Social Responsibility will facilitate their annual Martin Luther King Day of Service activities for service learning and volunteer opportunities on Monday, January 20th. Students will meet at North High no later than 8:30 AM and catch a bus to the different volunteer sites available. They will return to North High at 1 PM for a FREE lunch and a brief presentation, then dismissed at 2 PM.
