Volunteerism isn’t all about formally working with an organization, counting volunteer hours, or only showing up if there’s a sign-up form - it’s about people helping each other to make our communities stronger, better, and more vibrant.

The landscape of service is shifting beneath our feet. Today’s volunteers aren't just looking for "roles"—they are looking for meaningful impact. They are moving at the speed of their digital lives, their neighborhoods, and their personal values.

This conference is a space for leaders, disruptors, and community builders who have moved beyond the "traditional" to master the non-traditional. Whether it’s cracking the code on micro-volunteering, scaling a movement through decentralized leadership, or leveraging technology to meet the community in real-time, this is YOUR space.

This year's conference sessions will be geared towards topics like:

The On-Demand Volunteer: Strategies for episodic and task-based service that fits into busy modern schedules.

Leading at Community Speed: How to pivot organizational structures to support rapid-response and informal helping.

The Tech-Enabled Connection: Utilizing AI, mobile platforms, and digital matching to reduce barriers to entry.

Equity & Mutual Aid: Moving from "charity" models to community-led movements and neighbor-to-neighbor support.
