If you still have not yet registered to attend this year’s National Service-Learning Conference, Without Limits, here are ten great reasons why you should join NYLC and conference co-host Earth Force in Denver, CO:

  1. The National Service-Learning Conference is the only national conference that convenes the whole service-learning field — adults, young professionals, and youth!
  2. Affordable registration includes four days of professional development, meals, negotiated discounts on hotel rates, and memories to last a lifetime. (Check out the schedules and highlights).
  3. Denver — the Mile High City — is a clean, young, and green city with more than 200 parks, dozens of tree-lined boulevards, and boasts 300 days of sunshine.
  4. The Exhibit Hall is a bustling center of activity for you to win prizes, explore the Service-Learning Showcase, participate in on-site service-learning projects, and discover organizations that offer innovative products and services.
  5. Networking opportunities give you a chance to meet young leaders, passionate educators, and global experts in education.
  6. Volunteer sites, including the Day of Service in the Denver Children’s Corridor, have already been confirmed to give you a chance to serve the Denver community.
  7. Learn from the best in the field during plenary and thought leader sessions, receptions, informal meetings, and nearly 100 workshops.
  8. World-renowned speakers, including Reginald Dwayne Betts and Naomi Tutu, share the spotlight with youth emcees Danielle, Kaitlyn, and Jorge.
  9. The Generator School Network® allows you to connect with participants before the conference begins, and will provide lasting resources from workshop presenters once it’s over.
  10. NYLC is turning 30! Join us on Friday, March 15 for an NYLC 30th Anniversary dance party to celebrate three decades of work.
