Leadership and Service Learning: One Independent School’s Vision in Action

At Holderness, students have gone beyond fulfilling their 40-hour community service requirement--they are running with it. From running food service ventures to funding meaningful projects, these young entrepreneurs are gaining practical skills while serving communities in New Hampshire and as far away as Ukraine.

This interactive webinar will feature insights from students, staff, and community partners as they share practical ideas for projects and funding, along with the lessons they’ve learned. Designed to be participant-driven, this session will focus on your interests and needs, ensuring that you leave with actionable takeaways.

We’re excited to learn from you too! Bring your ideas and experiences to share as we explore how to elevate service learning together.

Don’t miss this opportunity—let’s grow and inspire together!
