Don't

Service-Learning Conference - Inspire. Imagine.
Innovate! Held March 24-27, 2010 in San Jose, California, this
event celebrates service-learning as a force that spans cultural and national
boundaries, builds communities, and strengthens young
people.
The
conference is the largest gathering of youth and practitioners involved in
service-learning, drawing approximately 2,500 attendees from across the United
States and many other countries each year. Through three days of general
sessions, thought leader series, service-learning projects, and networking, the
conference engages participants in the local, national,
and global issues that service-learning addresses. Come explore more than 100
exhibits, and nearly 150 hands-on workshops and service-learning
projects.
