Education Pavilion  

Mission-The Education Pavilion was created from the belief that, by joining together in a commitment to enhance cultural understanding, and by providing individuals with the opportunity to learn about their community, we can strengthen the foundation of our relationships and build toward a future of corporation and harmony.

Goals- 1) Provide specific community resource information that is needed and can be used to improve the lives of those around us, with an emphasis on multilingual resources. 2) Provide activities and information to promote unity and community cohesiveness based on the common immigrant experience of our ancestors and current immigration in central Nebraska.

5) All items and literature must be removed and stored out of the Pavilion area overnight.
