Hurricane Katrina Relief

National Service-Learning Clearinghouse:
Hurricane Katrina Relief Service-Learning Resources and Tools
The National Service-Learning Clearinghouse has collected resources and
tools to help students and teachers develop a service-learning or
community service project to assist with the Hurricane Katrina relief
effort. Included are organizations to join; lesson plans on fundraising,
hurricanes, floods, and the culture of the areas affected; and stories
of what students are doing to help. An opportunity to submit ideas and
stories regarding the relief effort is also included.

Submit Your Resources
If your service-learning organization or program would like to include
your Hurricane Katrina resources on the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse webpage for students and teachers, please write Alex Lumb, Librarian, at alexl@etr.org.
