See details below.

UlsterCorps’ Sixth Annual Service Summit will be held on Wednesday, April 29th, 2015 from 8:30am-12pm at the MPR, Student Union Building, SUNY New Paltz. The Service Summit will bring together college and high school students and community leaders from the nonprofit, business, higher education and governmental sectors to address the work and value of youth volunteerism in Ulster County.

The program will include presentations by high school and college-age youth, service learning coordinators, and agency representatives who have effectively engaged young people in volunteering. The Summit is being designed to provide a platform for youth to express their interests in volunteering, to report out on their fields of volunteer service, and to present the challenges they face in seeking and obtaining volunteer opportunities. As always it will feature roundtable discussions giving all attendees an opportunity to participate and network.

It will also include a report on our 2015 Survey of Volunteer Use + Best Practices. If you represent an Ulster County Non-Profit and have not yet completed this survey, we ask that you do so here.

The Summit, which is free to participants, is part of the on-going work of UlsterCorps to deepen the knowledge about volunteerism and to find ways to strengthen a culture of service and collaboration in Ulster County. A locally-sourced, healthy breakfast will be available to participants.

We look forward to you joining us on April 29th.

Registration is limited to the first 85 respondents. Please RSVP to vicki@ulstercorps.org or 845-481-0331.
