Gather and Network at the National Service-Learning Conference

Each year the Service-Learning Young Professionals event gains steam at the National Service-Learning Conference. The National Service-Learning Partnership created the Service-Learning Young Professionals as a grassroots gathering. Often held in a hotel suite year after year, the event is growing in size and numbers as new professionals enter the service-learning field. This year the event will be better than ever and promises many opportunities to network with others from around the country.

At my first National Service-Learning Conference in San Jose, California in 2010, I was able to connect with other young professionals from the field because of this event. This completely changed my conference experience and made me feel a part of a larger community. Those attendees that I met introduced me to leaders in the field, recommended workshops I should attend, and are still people I connect with today.

On Thursday, March 14th, Service-Learning Young Professionals will be gathering at Howl at the Moon in Denver, CO. Howl at the Moon is a lively piano bar located in Denver’s historic district known for their nightlife, restaurants, and arts. This event is open for everyone 21+ interested in service and service-learning at the conference, we encourage young professionals as well as experienced veterans to attend.

Howl at the Moon Doors open at 7 pm and the piano show begins at 8 pm. Be sure to let the door person know you are with the young professionals gathering and come before 9 pm to avoid paying a cover. There will be appetizers for all in attendance thanks in part to Roundabout Ventures and the Generator School Network. We can’t wait to see you there!
