About The Corps Network National Conference
The Corps Network National Conference is an annual gathering of national, state, and local leaders in the fields of workforce development, community service, and conservation. Attendees include hundreds of senior staff from Service and Conservation Corps across the country; officials from federal agencies; representatives from philanthropic foundations; and friends and supporters of the Corps movement.
About the 2021 National Conference
A New Era: Corps in Today’s America
For safety purposes, our 2021 event will be virtual.
“Unprecedented” only begins to describe this past year. As our country experiences health, economic, and environmental challenges, and as we confront racial and social inequities, we are evolving as a nation. We have learned a lot over the preceding months, including the fact that our country has a great deal of work to do to heal, to bring people together, and to address environmental issues that threaten our safety. With everything we have witnessed, we are different. In this “New Era,” what role can Service and Conservation Corps play in building more resilient communities, a sustainable economy, a modern workforce, a more equitable society, and a brighter future? At The Corps Network 2021 National Conference, we invite you to envision with us what this “New Era” will look like for the 21st Century Service and Conservation Corps movement.
Workshops
The Conference will include workshop content led by our partners, member organizations, and others in the fields of resource management, workforce development, youth development, and education. The deadline to submit workshop proposals was January 8. However, if there is content you’d like to see at the Conference, please reach out to Bobby Tillett with your suggestions.
Workshop descriptions to be announced soon.
