Dear colleagues,
The wait is over! Workshop proposals are now open for the 2026 Points of Light Conference, united with the 37th Annual National Service-Learning Conference®. This collaboration creates an unprecedented opportunity for educators, youth leaders, and community organizers to come together to strengthen communities and inspire collective action.
We invite proposals for interactive workshops that equip participants with tools, strategies, and inspiration to harness the power of volunteering and service-learning. New this year, the conference will intentionally elevate youth voice, encouraging young leaders to serve as co-creators and presenters alongside experienced professionals.
Whether you are a seasoned facilitator or presenting for the first time, this is your opportunity to engage attendees in dynamic, participatory learning that drives impact.
The 2026 Points of Light Conference will take place June 22–25, 2026, in Washington, D.C., bringing together more than 1,200 changemakers from across the globe.
Submit your proposal today and help shape the future of civic engagement and service-learning. Proposals are due Nov. 14.
