Join us at this year’s conference to immerse yourself in service and all that it has to offer. One group of sessions happening during the conference - Immersion Learning Sessions - offer conference participants the opportunity to venture into New York City for first-hand learning experiences. While visiting locations where service happens everyday, you can intensively explore issues alongside local leaders and topic experts. These sessions provide an opportunity to see service in action in New York City!

Rich Mullins has volunteered with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters for the last 29 years. As a Big Brother mentor to eight young men, Mullins has been a male role model in their lives.
With weekly one-on-one visits with each child for several years, Mullins assisted the children with their homework and social skills. Because the children’s families could not afford the luxury of a vacation, each child was included in vacation trips with Mullins’ family.
