This annual student conference is for students involved in civic engagement and community service efforts on campus who wish to network with students from throughout the region and learn and share about best practices and model programs. Many of the workshops are student-led and provide practical models for strengthening service programs on campuses. This is the perfect conference for a campus student leadership team.

The purpose of the Annual Student Conference is to offer the opportunity for students to come together to share ideas and learn from each other's experiences, and to help provide students with the knowledge, skills, and tools to create or expand their own campus service organization. Administrative staff who work with students to coordinate service programs will also benefit from this networking and information sharing conference. Learn More

Due to budget cuts, CSLEPS will not be providing transportation or registration scholarships this year. We do though endorse this program and encourage you to register on your own if you'd like to attend.
