From past participants:
- “The national conference is a great way for the chapters to connect, share best practices ideas, and meet other great volunteers!”
- “Great learning experience and a great opportunity to get to know people I work with.”
- “Alone, I’m but a match in the dark, but with my team, I’m a torch. Let teams across the nation unite and become one torch to shine bright for homeless youth in all our cities.”
- “This National Conference is a must for any leader in StandUp For Kids if we are truly committed to our kids. Meeting and learning how others operate in the same organization with their individual styles is priceless. It gives us other ways to consider when assisting our kids.”
