IMPACT National Conference on Community Service

The IMPACT National Conference is the current incarnation of what was
originally the Campus Outreach Opportunity League's National
Conference on Student Community Service, also known as "the COOL
Conference." COOL was originally founded around the same time and
with a similar mission as Campus Compact. One distinction back then
was that COOL focused more on student-led co-curricular community
service programs, while Campus Compact initially focused more on
service-learning and the relationship between institutions and their
local communities.

The IMPACT Conference focuses on the full range of student civic
engagement -- community service, service-learning, community-based
research, advocacy --but compared to other national conferences,
continues to be strongest around the area of student-led community
service. If you are looking for ideas and strategies for building and
strengthening your co-curricular student-led service programs, this
is the ideal conference to attend or send student leaders and staff.
There will be over 80 workshops.

Although it focuses on strengthening programs and efforts that engage
college students, the conference itself is not just for students.
It's also intended for campus administrators, faculty, and non-profit
staff to gain new insights, share best practices and network. There
will be a robust administrator's track designed by and for campus
administrators and faculty.
