Connect Before the National Service-Learning Conference in the GSN

Without Limits, the 24th Annual National Service-Learning Conference® will take place March 13-15, 2013 in Denver, Colo. The conference offers students and adults the opportunity to network, attend professional development sessions, become inspired, and learn from leaders in the field. This year’s theme, Without Limits, represents the limitless potential of all young people and the adults who support them to solve real-world problems. From addressing global waste and raising awareness on water pollution, to offering solutions to the achievement gap, to advocating for laws to improve teen driver safety — youth make change happen. And today’s young people are more informed, more connected, and better positioned than before to tackle the toughest challenges of today.

We are excited to hear from these amazing young people and to learn from them as well as the adults who support them. With the Generator School Network, NYLC’s free online community for educators and youth involved in service-learning, you don’t have to wait until March to start sharing with other attendees. Join the GSN and get connected today.

GSN members can share and learn with other conference attendees and stay connected after the conference is over. You can watch videos and look at pictures from past conferences, participate in lively discussions, and share information about your service-learning projects and resources. You can also start your own discussion groups within the GSN or connect with other members or groups, like Service-Learning Young Professionals.
