The National Conference on Volunteering and Service is the leading gathering of its kind, bringing together more than 5,000 service leaders to learn and cultivate new ideas for service, discuss the challenges we all face and work together to create solutions through the power of people.
The Conference is a don't-miss experience for social entrepreneurs to exchange ideas about what's working and generate new ideas to create a brighter path for the future. Attendees will learn how to leverage the power of individuals to address critical issues in their communities.
Regardless of age, experience, industry or affiliation – nonprofit, social entrepreneur, schools/universities, faith organizations, government or corporate, domestic or international – we share common goals. For the future of our economy, education, environment and emergency response capacity, we believe individuals have a central role in addressing these critical issues.
