We are proud to announce that
the location of the 27th Annual National Service-Learning Conference®, March 30
– April 2, 2016, will be the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota!
More than a thousand students, educators, and government leaders from across
the country and around the world will convene to demonstrate how young people
apply academic learning to address some of the most challenging issues of this
century: the achievement gap, the environment, the promotion of peace, and many
others. This intergenerational event creates a unique atmosphere, where youth
bring incredible energy and passion to discussions on education and social
policy. Both youth and adults gain the tools, resources, ideas, and support to
return home to improve their practice, their schools, and their communities.
NYLC gathers youth
development, service, and service-learning practitioners each year for this
event that honors national leaders, features best practices, showcases model
projects, and sets research and policy agendas.
Attendees will explore
powerful learning experiences through professional development classes, an
Opportunity and Resource Fair, and keynote addresses. The event also is a
catalyst for a range of service-learning projects both on-site and in the
community. At the Hyatt, participants will explore issues such as equity,
hunger, and water scarcity. Off-site teams will contribute to local nonprofits
through a Day of Service — giving back to the host communities of Minnesota.
Consider joining this
remarkable event. Single- and multiple-day on-site registration is available.
