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.

SUMMARY:IGNITE: Igniting Civic Leadership Through Service-Learning
DESCRIPTION:August 12\, 11:00 am CDT\nThis is the moment to IGNITE your service-learning practice. Born out of years of research and practice\, IGNITE is nylc’s newest service-learning cycle\, built to help schools and youth organizations move young people from civic knowledge to civic action. In this session\, you’ll be among the first to see the cycle unveiled in full: what it is\, how it works\, and why it’s different from what’s come before. nylc staff will walk through each element live\, showing exactly how IGNITE translates into real classrooms and real programs\, not just theory on a slide. You’ll leave with an early look at the tools and resources behind the framework\, plus a clear sense of how to bring IGNITE to your own program or classroom.  \n  \nThis event will take place via Zoom. You will receive the link to join the Zoom call closer to the event date. \n

SUMMARY:Service-Learning 101: Designing High-Impact Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:October 7\, 11:00 pm CDT\nNot all service-learning is created equal. A canned food drive checks a box; a well-designed service-learning experience changes how students see themselves and their communities. This workshop walks participants through the core elements that separate surface-level volunteering from real service-learning\, intentional connection to academic standards\, authentic community partnership\, structured reflection\, and measurable impact. Participants will learn a practical framework for designing experiences from the ground up\, starting with identifying a genuine community need and ending with reflection practices that help students make sense of what they’ve learned. Whether you’re building your first project or refining a long-running program\, you’ll leave with concrete tools you can put to use right away\, plus a clearer sense of what separates good intentions from real impact. \n  \nThis event will take place via Zoom. You will receive the link to join the Zoom call closer to the event date.
