Spring Break pre-trip meeting and CERT Training

Reminder: Spring Break ASB pre-trip meeting this Friday at 5:00 in the City Campus Union. I should be able to post the actual room on Wednesday or Thursday, but if not just check on the Union schedule and it should have the room reservation. 

Interested in helping out with emergency situations like the recent tornadoes in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky? UNL Center for Civic Engagement is trying to get a list of students interested in receiving CERT Training (Community Emergency Response Team). It will be free for students, they will receive specific CERT gear (like hard hat, vest, etc), and will give students a chance to respond to situations like the recent tornadoes. It is a big time commitment though, with about 7 training sessions varying in length. If you are interested comment on this post and the Center will get in contact with you, or send an email to unlservelearn@gmail.com.

Camp Kesem

We are looking for UNL students who would be interested in helping campus run a summer camp for Camp Kesem. The camp is for kids ages 6-13 who have (or have had) a parent with cancer. The purpose of the camp is to provide a week away from home for these kids to have fun and worry about just being a kid. We are in the process of applying to be a host site for the camp over the summer in 2014. The camp will require a lot of planning and students making a commitment will serve on a committee that will help gather donations, plan the camp, market the camp, or a number of other projects. It will likely be a 3-5 hour time commitment each week during the school year. If you are interested in putting your name and email on the application with the intent to commit please email unlservelearn@gmail.com. We need at least 9 students (who will still be at UNL next year/summer) to place their names on the application in order to be considered.
