Q: My child is in a “project”. What does that mean?
A: Each NHRI mentor-mentee pair belongs to a subgroup of mentors and mentees called a “project.” Some projects are grade-specific (Junior Projects are for mentees in grades 7-9, and Teenage Project is for mentees in grades 10-12), and some are school-specific (East High School, LDP at Lincoln High School, LDP Southeast at Lincoln Southeast High School). Use the chart at the bottom of this page to determine which project your child is a part of.
Q: Who should I contact if I have questions about my child’s NHRI experience?
A: Your child’s project is led by a NHRI senior “staff advisor”. This student leader is an experienced NHRI mentor who meets with your child’s mentor on a weekly basis during project meetings. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback about your family’s NHRI experience, the staff advisor of your child’s project is a great first contact. Read the information below to determine which staff advisor you should contact based on your child’s project.
If you have additional questions, comments, or feedback, you are welcome to contact the NHRI staff directly at nhri.unl@gmail.com
