“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermo-dynamics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."

- February 4, 1968, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, GA

The National Youth Leadership Council, HandsOn, and generationOn invite you to join us at the 22nd Annual National Service-Learning Conference to help answer President Obama’s call. As the president said when signing the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act: "We need your service, right now, at this moment in history. . . I am asking you to stand up and play your part. I am asking you to help change history's course."

Service-learning practitioners know that students have been making signifi cant contributions to their communities for years, supported by adults steeped in the evidence base for high-quality practice. Now is the time to share this good news in education and demonstrate service-learning’s academic outcomes.

Help us showcase the importance of service-learning to the future of education by joining us in Atlanta for four days that will challenge, inspire, and provoke you. We hope to see you there!

Designing Academically Rigorous Service-Learning Experiences - IS101

Presenters: Susan Root, NYLC, WI; Caryn Pernu, NYLC, MN

One obstacle to ensuring student academic learning through service-learning may be the challenges of planning standards-based projects. This immersion session is designed to help teachers think deeply about the abstract concepts and skills they want students to develop service-learning experiences. Join NYLC’s research team, Susan Root and Caryn Pernu, in a hands-on workshop that explores using Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe’s backward planning model to design service-learning around academic content standards. You’ll learn a process for tying service-learning experiences directly to the standards you’re expected to meet in your classroom, explore strategies for assessing student learning throughout the service-learning experience, and create a plan to boost your students’ academic knowledge and skills — while they contribute to their community.

Making Service-Learning Visible as an Academic Strategy - IS102

Presenters: Suzanne Martin, Martin Research Consulting, NY;

Justin Greeves, Harris Interactive, CT

While seasoned service-learning practitioners understand the power of service-learning in engaging young people in their education, many of our colleagues, school administrators, parents, and policy-makers don’t yet know about or understand service-learning. Hear from a panel of experts on communications and educational research and educational policy on how to craft messages that will help you get to the heart of why service-learning matters in schools today. Come together with like-minded individuals and organizations to build broad-based public support for service-learning and engaged education in our schools, communities, and nation.

Effective Strategies for Service-Learning Trainers - IS103

Presenters: James and Pamela Toole, Compass Institute, MN

Service-learning professional development is inherently deep work because it involves not only teaching new behaviors, but also fostering new ways of thinking about effective instruction and the role of youth in the learning process. If you are a trainer, come explore and share effective strategies and insights about how to facilitate transformative change and how to teach each of the K-12 Service-Learning Standards for Quality Practice. We'll report on a study of the approaches of 10 well-respected service-learning trainers.

Drs. James and Pamela Toole possess a lifelong love for studying the art and science of effective professional development. They value training as a lever to change the world. The Tooles are Co-Directors of Minnesota-based Compass Institute and of the Service-Learning Providers' Network, and present nationally and internationally.

All across the country, youth and adults have established youth-driven councils, boards, committees, or leadership teams designed to effect positive change. Such groups may be organized around policy-making, philanthropy, action, advocacy, advice, or similar purposes, but effective youth councils have one thing in common: They include socially engaged young people who have the awareness, skills, and capacity to make positive contributions. Such skills and abilities, however, don’t happen in a vacuum. Participants in this high-energy youth-led session will share knowledge, experience, and insights about engaging young people in collective action that can lead to improving themselves, their schools, and their communities. This session will provide practical information, advice, tools, and resources necessary to create effective youth councils.
