Smith University, Charlotte NC. The conference schedule has been released as of yesterday and may be viewed as a pdf by clicking on the following: 2010 Student Conference Schedule. The cost for attending the conference is $20. This covers your transportation, meals and the overall conference experience and material. You will not be officially registered until I receive your payment.
The Student Conference brings individuals together from across the region to network, share and learn about best practices and unique innovative ideas in civic engagement. Sessions focus on topics including community service, leadership, service-learning, advocacy and activism. In addition student awards are presented during the end of the conference. Our very own NC-ACTS! Fellow, Brittany Yates is a recipient of the 2010 Community Student Award given annually. Congratulations Brittany, it is well deserved!

Conference Goals:
- Highlight student-initiated civic engagement practices across the state, e.g., campus service initiatives, environmental programs, best practices, student-led projects, community gardens, service-learning course ideas, service's impact on culture/diversity, and anti-poverty facilitation
- Inspire student leaders with creative ideas that can impact communities
- Connect like-minded students in hopes of building collaboration around similar projects
- Build civically-engaged students who gain confidence in using their skills to impact communities today and in the future
The 2010 the Jenzabar Foundation awarded NC Campus Compact one of three national “Best in Class” Student Service Leadership Conferences grants which will help ensure a vibrant community of strong student leaders. NC Campus Compact is the only grantee that will host two conferences reaching students in North Carolina, Virginia (who has no Campus Compact), and South Carolina—whose Compact is relatively new.
