About our 2020 National Conference
Thrive: The Power of Community
DATE: February 9 – 12, 2020
LOCATION: Washington, DC – Washington Marriott at Metro Center
We invite you to celebrate the importance of community at The Corps Network’s 35th Annual National Conference. America’s Service and Conservation Corps support many kinds of communities. There is a sense of community among the young people we engage; within the towns and cities we serve; and throughout the lands and waters we maintain and improve. Healthy communities – whether represented through the bonds between crew members or through the innumerable interactions within an ecosystem – are essential to our health as people and organizations.
At “Thrive,” we will examine the power our communities possess; the global and local threats our communities face; and ways we can engage young adults authentically to sustain community health through service. Take part as we move beyond a place of resilience to a place where we can thrive.

About the 2019 Conference
Washington, DC, The Fairmont Hotel
America’s Service and Conservation Corps build resilient communities and people. Every day, Corps help make habitats healthier, infrastructure stronger, cities more sustainable, homes more efficient, and landscapes more resistant to the effects of natural disasters. In the process of completing important projects across the country, Corps help thousands of young adults gain the certifications, confidence, and work-readiness skills to succeed in their personal and professional lives. With a history spanning over 80 years, the Corps community itself is resilient, adapting to meet the changing needs and priorities of our country. At “Resilience,” we will explore how, through partnerships and creative thinking, Corps can continue to embody and project the ability to withstand, recover, and grow.
