Service-learning at faith-based colleges and universities gives students opportunities to bring together what the academy often separates:

While many faith-based colleges have strong service-learning programs, there are many others who want to develop new programs or strengthen programs that already exist.

This conference attempts to bring programs together to allow for engagement of individuals around ideas for propelling service-learning forward at these institutions.
