The 2009 “Summer Changes Everything” National Conference, hosted by The National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University, is now accepting presentation proposals centered around the idea that it takes a community to support high-quality summer programming.

The Center seeks proposals for 35-40 outstanding conference workshops to enable the growing field of summer learning professionals to build, strengthen, and expand life-changing summer programs for all young people.

Whether you’re an educator, administrator, curriculum developer, program provider, policymaker, researcher, youth worker, or summer learning advocate, you may have a unique perspective that can benefit others in the field.

The conference will take place April 16 and 17 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, with pre-conference institutes on April 15.

Presenters receive a reduced registration rate of $275 for the two-day conference.

Share your knowledge, experience and ideas while networking with those who share the goal of providing high-quality summer learning opportunities for all young people.
