SUMMARY:Free Training\, Real Research\, Real Impact: Is Your School a Fit for SLICE?
DESCRIPTION:Apr. 1\, 3:30 pm CT | Apr. 16\, 8:30 am CT | May 6\, 11:30 am CT | May 12\, 4:00 pm CT\nYoung people are the future of democracy — but research shows their trust in democratic institutions is at an all-time low. Educators are uniquely positioned to change that. NYLC has spent over 40 years helping teachers do exactly that through service-learning\, youth leadership\, and student voice. SLICE (Service-Learning in Civic Education) is the next step: a national study to document what works and bring it to scale. \nNYLC is partnering with public high schools across the U.S. to implement high-quality service-learning in at least three core classes over two school years — with full training and ongoing support provided throughout. \nParticipation is straightforward. NYLC trains teachers in service-learning pedagogy\, which they implement in their classroom. Following the district approval and parent consent process\, educators and students complete brief surveys at the start and end of each semester. A research team from the University of Minnesota will also conduct interviews and focus groups to capture your experience in depth. \n\nProfessional Development: Free\, high-quality training from NYLC\, with clock hours that count toward your state licensure requirements — at no cost to you or your school.\nNational Community: Join a virtual network of educators nationwide who are doing this work\, sharing what’s working\, and building something together.\nStudent Success: Give your students hands-on\, community-connected learning backed by decades of evidence — and watch engagement follow.\nShape the Field: Your classroom becomes part of the national conversation. Help define best practices for democratic education that will influence schools here and abroad.\n\nSites are now being selected for the 2026–27 school year. Find out what’s involved\, what your school gains\, and whether your high school qualifies. \n  \nRegister here: https://forms.gle/9VXHgx4ZcDdfMYWe8\n  \nFor questions\, or if you’re interested but can’t attend\, contact us at psiebert@nylc.org. \nThis event will take place on the dates below via Zoom. You will receive the link to join the Zoom call closer to the date. \n

SUMMARY:A Day on the Hill: Elevating Youth as Solutions on Capitol Hill
DESCRIPTION:June 22\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. EDT\, Washington\, D.C.\nThe National Service-Learning Conference is excited to offer a powerful opportunity for youth and their adult allies to advocate for young people as contributors and problem-solvers in communities across the nation. Attendees are invited to join together for a Hill Day Kick-Off Session designed to prepare them for productive and meaningful meetings with legislators before departing for Capitol Hill. \nThis interactive session will equip attendees with the knowledge and confidence to share how service-learning is shaping their leadership\, strengthening their communities\, and addressing real challenges. We will practice framing youth-led service as an essential strategy for community impact and guide participants in crafting clear\, compelling messages for their elected officials. Adult allies will receive support on how to reinforce youth leadership and help create a respectful\, empowering advocacy experience. \nFollowing the Kick-Off Session\, youth and adults will head to Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staff. Hill Day provides policy-makers with a rare opportunity to engage directly with youth leaders and hear firsthand what young people across the country are accomplishing through service-learning and community action. \nThe goal of Hill Day is to bring hundreds of youth advocates together to speak with one strong\, united voice about the importance of youth leadership and civic engagement. This is a moment for young people to be heard\, to be taken seriously\, and to demonstrate the essential role they play as solutions in their communities. \nJoin us as we elevate youth voice\, inspire policy-makers\, and strengthen the future of service-learning. \n*Additional details for the event will be provided after registration. This event is part of #SLC26 at the Points of Light Conference. There is no additional fee to participate\, however pre-registration is required. \n**An adult must accompany anyone under the age of 18.
