We are excited to welcome you and 500 of your closest friends to DeLand, Florida for the 2012

IMPACT Conference! This is the 28th anniversary of this event, which started a quarter century ago by

a few students who decided that being involved in community is important to ones education, and

that connecting with others who believe the same thing is really powerful. This conference is builtupon the idea that young people can change the world in both small and large ways.

Look around you this weekend. You are among friends who are running mentoring programs,

organizing river clean-ups, lobbying Congressional representatives, revising the laws made by those

Congressional representatives, advocating on behalf of their neighbors, and activating classroom

learning.

Take this opportunity to connect with your peers, to find out whats going on

across the country, and to discover all the ways that you can help move forward

the cause of social change. Most importantly, think hard about how you can take

what you learn this weekend back to your campus and your community that is

the heart of this conference.

PLANNING COMMITTEE

This years Planning Committee consisted of undergraduate students, graduate students, campus staff, and nonprofit

professionals hailing from Denver to Florida and everywhere in between. The members of the Planning Committee

have fit every step of conference organizing into lives filled with day jobs, school, and family. From sponsorship calls

to workshop reviews to website edits to outreach emails, the Planning Committee has balanced a collaborative

process that proves that collective organizing can, indeed, work. Our gratitude goes out to every member of this

years Planning Committee and we hope youll join us in thanking them whenever you see them!

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The IMPACT Conference Advisory Committee consists of IMPACT, Idealist and COOL conference veterans who look

toward the future of IMPACT.

Weve done our best to green the

conference, paying special attention to

the footprint that the conference leaveson the environment. Below is the list of

the steps we took as a Planning

Committee to green this event, and a few

suggestions for the conference attendees

to do the same!

GIVEAWAYS

In the past, the conference gave away

dozens of paper fliers (advertising various social change initiativesacross the country) to each attendee. For the past two years, we

have been giving away a flash drive to each person with all of this

information loaded onto it! With giving away these flash drives, we

prevent the printing of thousands of sheets of paper and the use of

environmentally unfriendly inks. Everyone will still go home with

valuable information.

RECYCLING

There are recycling bins throughout Stetson Universitys campus. Please take a moment to throw your cans,

bottles, and plastic in the appropriate receptacle.

Master teacher and enthusiastic communicator, Adolph Brown aka The Worlds

Greatest Edu-tainer is recognized as one of Americas leading authorities

on Educational Excellence and Leadership Development and a highly

sought after International speaker. Thanks to his hard work, his faith and

attitude, and a caring village like you, Adolph has overcome an

upbringing of extreme poverty and violence, welfare, fatherlessness, anda single-mother led household to be with you today. His ultimate life

desire is to empower individuals, families, and youth to take charge of

their lives and create a brighter future for themselves, their community,

and their country. Adolph chips away at misconceptions and missteps

regarding relationships and communications daily. As a prolific speaker,

trainer, & author, Adolph has the amazing ability to combine solid content

with a humorous and dynamic presentation.

People from all walks of life, from shelf stockers, educators, administrators,

and corporate CEOs, have been transformed and inspired by Adolphs

presentations and his writings: Championship Habits, REAL

TALK, Messages From Granddad, and a childrens book titled The Story ofLittle Adolph Brown. Adolph has a very diverse background in education

and business. He is the founder of the Wellness Group, LLC owned and

operated by his wife Marla. He is presently on a writing sabbatical from

Hampton University where he was a tenured full professor, chairperson of

the department of psychology/education, and academic dean of the

graduate college.

With multiple degrees from the College of William and Mary in psychology

and anthropology, masters degree graduate study in classroom

management & differentiated learning, and doctoral degree work in

education/community/clinical psychology with an emphasis in group

dynamics, Adolph discovered his passion for people development whilstworking as a diversity and

communication consultant. Adolph has traveled and studied abroad, sits on myriad local and boards

and advisory groups, and has written extensively on the subjects of child, family, and corporate

communication. An often quoted resource, he is the author ofthree books. His most successful

program is L.E.A.P.S. (Leadership Development + Excellence + Achievement + Performance =

Success). Adolph has also served on the National Commission on Diversity andEconomic

Development whereby he was the facilitator of multiple round table discussions.

Although his workshops and presentations have had an impact on the lives of more than 1 million

people in the Corporate, Government, Faith, Educational and Public Sectors, and he has been the

recipient of over 300 awards and honors, Adolph still considers his greatest accomplishment to be the

happily married husband to Marla and doting father of seven mischievously wonderful children. His

favorite past time is still being able to watch Saturday morning cartoons with his children (1 college

graduate, a college freshman, & a graduating senior at the University of Pennsylvania, a senior in high

school, two middle schoolers, and 1 elementary schooler).

Jason Connells journey to becoming of one of the worlds

foremost authorities on visionary leadership for young adults

hasnt been, to say the least, a straightforward path. But then

again, destiny has its own compass and sense of occasion.

At the fresh young age of 19, Jason was a content, ambitious,

and confident liberal arts student in sunny Florida. And like

many other young people in similarly cozy situation, he

thought his future would be relatively comfortable and

straightforward: graduate from college, find a good job, and

generally enjoy the rather hospitable hand that destiny had

dealt him. Thats when he spent a semester abroad in China.

Mesmerized at the core by a world outside of America, a

world that featured unbelievable cultural wealth, contrasted with stark economic poverty and

impenetrable sociopolitical obstacles Jason resolved to explore all he could until his dried-up

savings forced him to stop.

And while dropping out of college was a necessary consequence of this change in life plan,

any disappointment was far outweighed by the array of astonishing new experiences, andnourishing personal relationships, that he cultivated during this seminal time.

Now a bit older, much wiser and equipped with a Political Science degree, Jason has

volunteered in some of the worlds poorest areas. He has seen, heard, felt, and experienced

things so removed from his quaint college life, that its hard to believe that it was only a handful

of years ago; it truly feels like a handful of lives ago.

Deficit Reduction Could Harm Millions in Poverty, Your Voice Needed!Meredith Dodson, Tavia Benjamin, RESULTS

LBC 317

Deficit reduction threatens core social programs and the low- and moderate-income people who rely on them. The changein the political climate raises a serious risk that policymakers may start down a path of dealing with the nations long-term fiscalproblems in ways that increase poverty and inequality and widen economic disparities between racial and ethnic groups.

This workshop will highlight the threats to early childhood development programs: Head Start, a federally funded preschoolprogram that provides comprehensive services to low-income children and their parents; Early Head Start, a child developmentprogram for pregnant women and low-income families with infants and toddlers; and the Child Care Development Block Grant(CCDBG) which provides child care assistance to low-income families. Unfortunately, Head Start serves less than 50 percent ofeligible preschoolers, Early Head Start serves less than 5 percent of all eligible families, and CCDBG serves only one out ofseven eligible children. With a series of automatic cuts through a process called sequestration looming, programs like theseface serious cuts in the years ahead.

Well also discuss the threats to other key safety net programs including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (Food Stamps) and child nutrition programs. With the new Congress pushing for drastic and indiscriminate budget cuts,these programs need activists to push back against reckless policies. Join us to learn more about what Congress is consideringin the name of deficit reduction and how you can make an impact on the debate!

CARE Global Leaders of Tomorrow; Fighting Poverty through Advocacy and PolicyMargie Lauter, CARE, USA; TBD: Josh Nesbit, CEO Medic Mobile

LBC 223

A significant aspect of CAREs strategy is using advocacy and policy at local, national, and international levels to address theunderlying causes of poverty. With offices in 87 countries across the globe, CARE focuses its efforts on working withmarginalized populations, with a specific emphasis on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the properresources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty.

Through advocacy and taking action in their own communities and universities, students have the unique ability to reach both

policymakers and the international communities affected by shifts in our political landscape. Here in the US, CARE has workedwith thousands of advocates from across the country to educate their legislators about why foreign aid counts, organize events,and mobilize advocates to have a real impact on US Government policies that impact foreign assistance to the poorestcommunities. CARE is one of the few International NGOs that has a highly affective and working system for national advocacythat engages passionate and committed citizens throughout the nation.

In a presentation including short videos, interactive demonstrations, examples of how advocacy and policy change hasimpacted lives, and question and answers, students will learn about CAREs programmatic work across the world, how advocacyplays such a crucial role in combating global poverty and improving the lives of the worlds most marginalized populations, andhow students are positioned to make a real impact. Students will learn how they can take action themselves to contribute directlyto ending global poverty.

The High Road to Victory: Community Labor Organizing on CampusVail Kohnert-Yount, Georgetown University

LBC 318

Last winter saw a pivotal moment in labor history, as workers and students flooded the capital of Wisconsin to protest the

curtailing of bargaining rights for public workers. At the same time, at Georgetown University, another such labor momentoccurred, albeit much more modest. After long underground campaign organized by students motivated by GeorgetownsCatholic and Jesuit values, the 200 campus dining service workers won recognition from Aramark, their employer, whose $12billion annual revenue makes it one the largest service providers in the nation. The workers, most of whom are black or Latino,have become members of Unite Here, a leading union of service workers, without anyone losing their job or a single day of work.This model of worker organizing represents a new strategy of community unionism, whereby members of universitycommunities can mount victorious campaigns for worker justice by organizing around shared community values. This workshopwill use the Georgetown campaign as a case study to investigate and teach strategies and practices of successful organizing,lessons that can be extended beyond a labor context and applied to any issue campaign.

Katie will then discuss Half in Tens plan to cut poverty in half--the indicators the campaign willbe tracking over the next ten years as well as the policy changes that will reduce poverty and create good jobs, strengthenfamilies and communities, and promote economic security.

A major component of this session will be a discussion of action steps students engaged in service can take to stand up for low-income families and children, including an in-depth look at the important roles of personal stories and state-specific data inengaging members of congress and presidential candidates, and how we can use social media to create an echo chamber onpoverty and opportunity. Half in Ten is a joint project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the Coalition on HumanNeeds, and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

What good will I do? : Understanding your call to serveTrish Flanagan, Clinton School of Public Service

LBC 221

Often times those of us compelled to volunteer or work on social issues are asked why we do it? Why do we care? Yet many

times we feel we dont have the time or that maybe it is not necessary to consider the Whys and the Hows in our efforts totake social action. However, if we want to impact positive change through our social action, we need to consider what motivatesus and how we can best to do this challenging, yet rewarding work. In this workshop, we will not sit in front of a lecturer andpassively listen and nod. On the contrary, in this fun and dynamic workshop, we will have the opportunity to explore our personalexperiences and understandings that have led us to the call to action. We will consider various current models of social advocacywork, like that of Toms Shoes and Warby Parker Eyeglasses, and analyze how our work can make the greatest impact. We willlearn about the perspectives of others who feel impelled to take social action. As a participant, you will consider your motivationto serve and develop your own personal mission statement. You will also create a tangible, useful plan tailored to your experienceand perspective that will help you to succeed in your career and impact positive social change for those you serve.

Nativism on CampusCatharine Debelle, Center for New Community

LBC 222

The issue of immigration today is paramount because it comprises the question of who is an American. By the year 2050, oneout of five Americans will be foreign born. Latino and Asian communities will increase significantly. There will be no clear racial orethnic majority. We will become a nation of minorities. Todays perceptions of foreignness will challenge how Americans identifythemselves over the coming decades. In light of these responses to changing demographics nativist organizations have begun toform coalition spread their rhetoric in both major media and progressive circles. A key component of the nativist agenda is topropose and endorse legislation which limits the freedoms of education.

This workshop will identify anti-immigrant ideologies, explore why progressive sectors are vulnerable to the anti-immigrantmovement, and discuss strategiesfor countering their influence. The workshop will focus on the current influential groups, individuals and organizations attempting

to work on college campuses.By the end the work-shop participants should be informed about the prominence of nativist organization and their influences.Participants should also be able to move forward form this workshop prepared to share this information with their home collegecampuses and actively combat anti-immigrant presence leading to a more diverse and inclusive environment.

Care about Poverty? You Need to Understand Tax PolicyMeredith Dodson; Allison Burket -- RESULTS

LBC 317

What program moves more Americans out of poverty than any other? A little something called the EITC. This year, Congresswill consider whether to cont inue provisions in the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit for low-income working familiesas a part of a massive tax package. For low-income individuals and families, tax policy can be a very constructive tool forincreasing income. RESULTS strongly supports tax policies that work to help lift and keep people out of poverty. These includeexpanding tax credits to reach more people in poverty and investing more resources in policies that help low-income personsbuild wealth. Well talk about how these policies are making a difference, opportunities to strengthen supports of families living inpoverty through the tax code, and the threats to EITC and other programs as a part of Congress work to reduce the federalbudget deficit.Well also discuss how tax policies widen the distance between the wealthy and everyone else, and how policy proposals inCongress could widen the wealth gap further. Join us to learn more about what why tax policy matters and how you can fight fora fair tax code that benefits everyone and is used to help create wealth, rather than concentrating it.

Being a Global Citizen: Raising Awareness, Making an Impact on Issues of Child Survival and DevelopmentTaruna Sadhoo, US Fund for UNICEF

LBC 318

UNICEF has saved more children's lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world. Working in more than 150countries, UNICEF provides children with health care, clean water, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. The U.S.Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF's work through fundraising, advocacy, and education in the United States.

UNICEF is at the forefront of efforts to reduce child mortality worldwide. There has been substantial progress: the annual

number of under-five deaths dropped from nearly 13 million in 1990 to 7.6 million in 2010. But still, 21,000 children die each dayfrom preventable causes. Our mission is to do whatever it takes to make that number zero by giving children the essentials for asafe and healthy childhood. However, we cannot achieve this goal alone.

This workshop will provide participants with an understanding of UNICEFs work abroad and the opportunity to analyze howcampus students, as agents of change and global citizens, play a vital role in addressing this largely silent crisis. We encourageyou to join us to learn more about the awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to impact UNICEFs life-saving work abroad.Participants will obtain a better understanding of how participating campuses throughout the U.S. have taken action to addressissues of child survival and development through advocacy, education and awareness building initiatives. During the workshop,participants will discuss the importance of global citizenship and how, as global citizens, they can strengthen their role andimpact.

Human Rights: From Education to ActionEllen Firestone, Global Education Motivators

LBC 220

Human Rights: from Education to Action - the purpose of this workshop is to educateparticipants on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Born out of the atrocities andenormous loss of life during World War II, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created by the United Nations toprovide a common understanding of what everyone's rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice andpeace. Once participants are familiar with each of the 30 human rights, they will be asked to decide which rights they feel moststrongly about and then discuss ways and develop a plan for how they can serve in those areas.

Making Peace from Privilege: Peer Leadership from Above & BelowMaya Pisel, Macalester College

LBC 319

Students from poor families and poor communities have important opportunities in academic and professional settings to openspace for ideas and relationships. This workshop invites students to engage their whole selves in order to connect communitiesin peace and justice. What histories do you carry, who follows you, and where? Sharing experiences and building relationshipsbetween privileged and underprivileged friends, we can be peer leaders from two directions. This workshop will draw from thework of Circles of Peace in St. Paul, Minnesota: the "Inner Circle" of young people in the juvenile justice system and theirfamilies, and the "Outer Circle" of college students concerned and impacted by youth violence and incarceration. Unlike service-based or academic-based programs, the Outer Peace Circle unites college students to share and change our own experienc
