Silent Auction
At every conference, NCSL hosts a silent auction to benefit a non-profit organization. Does your school have any cool gear or logowear? We’re looking for anything from school sweatshirts to hats to portfolios (and everything in between)! Bring it along to the conference and drop it off at the NCSL registration desk!
NCSL has selected City Year to be the recipient of the money raised through the silent auctions that will be held at our two fall conferences this year.
City Year is a non-profit organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world. As tutors, mentors and role models, these young leaders make a difference in the lives of children and transform schools and neighborhoods. City Year is a proud member of AmeriCorps.
City Year has more than 1,000 young adults in 17 locations across the United States making a difference for children, their schools, and their communities. Each corps member pledges to complete 1,700 of service during their year of service – a challenging task that requires full-time dedication and teamwork. At the completion of their service, corps members earn an education award of $4,725.
In the 19 years of service, City Year has served more than 985,000 children through 14.5 million hours of community service. Please visit www.cityyear.org for more information.
