The IMPACT Conference is historically the largest annual conference in the nation focused on engaging college students in service, advocacy and social action.   This event continues and builds on the legacy of the COOL (Campus Outreach Opportunity League) National Conference and the Idealist Campus Conference, spanning an incredible 26-year history.

We are looking for a variety of different workshops for IMPACT 2011 on topics such as:
  • IMPACT from the Classroom: how to transform your learning experiences with best practices from the field of service learning, research, and students taking initiative to combine their service and academics,
  • Building your Leadership Tool Kit: how to take your engagement to the next level with practical how-to’s and “who’s done its” from the national network. Whether it’s recruitment, how to motivate, communicate, or build your organizational success,
  • Issue Me Change: understanding the issues (whether they be hunger, environmental justice, homelessness, health or something else),
  • Make Way for the Advocate: Figuring out how to take the step from service leader to community activist and delve deeper to better advocate for change.
  • Career Building:  How to build a career out of fighting for social justice in today’s economic times with practical advice from the change agents of today, and
  • Refining your leadership or administrator skills through our brand new IMPACT Leadership Academy, and the IMPACT Administrator’s Institute.
Making IMPACT 2011 the best conference ever starts with YOU!
