CCFL offers an innovative learning and mentoring experience.

We support many student assistantships and research experiences each year from a variety of departments and disciplines both at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

Experiential learning opportunities for students include:

Assisting in research activities.
Helping with service projects.
Working with faculty and project directors to present at conferences or publish their research.

Our Alumni Stories

What I loved about CCFL was collaborating with a wide range of professional disciplines to do work that really mattered: synthesizing evidence on adolescent pregnancy prevention programs, role-playing to assist in the evaluation of the new Child Advocacy Center, translating research for non-scientific audiences, and writing about the implications of welfare reform on children. I will always be grateful for my CCFL experiences, that prepared me so well for the work I do today.
