The 20th Annual National Service-Learning Conference: Growing Hope, Cultivating Change

Dates: March 18 - 21, 2009
Location: Nashville, TN

Join us in Nashville, Tenn., for The 20th Annual National Service-Learning Conference at the Nashville Convention Center, March 18-21, 2009! The conference is the largest gathering of youths and practitioners involved in the service-learning movement, drawing approximately 2,700 attendees from across the United States and at least 20 other countries each year. Through three days of general sessions, featured forums, and service-learning projects, the conference engages participants in local, national, and global issues that service-learning addresses. It provides networking opportunities with service-learning leaders through more than 200 experiential workshops, receptions, and informal meetings. This year, the conference celebrates service-learning’s role in the regeneration of hope, and issues a call for action in a time when the world seems smaller with every technological advance. 

Anticipated highlights of the 2009 conference:

• The Third Annual Service-Learning World Forum
• Administrators Academy
• An exhibit hall showcasing schools, businesses, and nonprofit organizations
• The Indigenous Service Forum
• State Farm® Awards Celebration
• Networking Opportunities

We look forward to sharing your best ideas about growing hope and cultivating change through service-learning, capitalizing on the advantages of a maturing movement. Check back soon for announcements on speakers, registration fees, award applications, scholarships, and more.
