Pacific Northwest Service Conference

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

Perspectives on Global Citizenship:
Cultivating Transformational Change through Cross-Cultural Service

Join us for a conference on planning cross-cultural service trips on May 7th 9:00am-5:00pm at Seattle University, Casey Building.

This one day conference is for service immersion trip leaders and volunteers to learn ways to fully engage trip participants by incorporating body (volunteer service), mind (knowledge and information) and spirit (authentic relationships). Participants in this conference will:

*Learn best practices from leaders in the field
*Understand how to cultivate your skills of empowerment
*Foster and develop leadership skills from your participants
*Build partners with host communities.
*Develop skills of cultural competency to share with your participants
*Promote long term commitment to community, solidarity, public service and global engagement

As group leaders, you know the benefits of service immersion- join us in sharing your secrets and learning from group leaders who have mastered other tools of the trade so that the experience never ends in a week but provides transformational change to both particpants and communities!

Conference fee: $15/ $10 for students (fee includes lunch and conference materials)
