Youth Leadership & Service Conferences
Magnified Giving is bringing students, educators, and community partners together this fall for two regional Youth Leadership & Service Conferences (YLSCs). Register your school or organization below to secure your spot.
Each Youth Leadership & Service Conference is a half-day event designed to inspire high school and college students to take an active role in their communities. Students and educators will hear from engaging speakers, take part in hands-on breakout sessions on service learning and community issues, connect with local nonprofits at our volunteer fair, and even roll up their sleeves for pop-up service projects. Whether you're in Northeast Ohio or the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, there's a conference near you. Space is limited, so register today.
