31st Annual National Service-Learning Conference Is Now Virtual – Apr 16-17

Posted by National Youth Leadership Council on March 17, 2020

For 31 years, the National Youth Leadership Council has brought together students, educators, nonprofit & community leaders from across the United States and around the world for the National Service-Learning Conference so that we can bring recognition to the contributions that young people are making to change the world and to help prepare them and their adult mentors in reaching their goals.

The NYLC Board and staff have closely watched the developing situation around the COVID-19 virus and the recent diagnoses in the city of our upcoming conference. The safety of our participants is of utmost importance to us, and we do not want to jeopardize anyone’s health. We know that communities, students, educators, school partners, and families are concerned about travel and large gatherings and many school districts have prohibited travel all together. For these reasons, the NYLC board voted to move the 31st Annual National Service-Learning Conference to a virtual platform … Unmask Your Potential the virtual experience, April 16-17, 2020: https://www.nylc.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1352175.

In addition, we are happy to announce that the 32nd Annual National Service-Learning Conference will take place in New Orleans, La. in partnership once again with Harry Hurst Middle School and St. Charles Parish. We are honored that the administrators, teachers, community leaders, and students are committed to hosting the event.
