Join us July 29-31 at the Charleston Civic Center for the state’s annual gathering of people strengthening communities through volunteerism and service.
This year’s theme stresses the importance of: dreaming up to create the future, looking in to see possibilities in ourselves and in our communities, and reaching out to usual and unusual partners to make those possibilities a reality.
Come Dream Up with those who share your passion for improving communities. You will leave refreshed, recharged and with a greater sense that what you do is a part of something much bigger.
