The National Conference on Volunteering and Service is the one gathering each year that volunteer and service leaders cannot afford to miss.

Taking place July 16-18, 2007 in the historic city of Philadelphia, the National Conference brings together more than 2,600 movers and shakers from the nonprofit, government, and business worlds dedicated to improving communities through service and volunteering. The theme of this year’s conference, “The Power of We,” proudly declares the power of collective action to solve serious social problems—a hallmark of America’s character since our founding.
