Participants and Alumni from 21 different countries meet in Washington, D.C. for a full week of leadership development, congressional visits, community-focused organizations, community service, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greenheart Global Leaders Conference<\/a> members will all meet at Gallaudet University. The university was originally founded in 1864 to support deaf and blind children in grammar school. Now, it is a private federally charted university for deaf and hearing-impaired college students. It is no accident that Greenheart decided to host our international leadership conference at Gallaudet. This university has such a rich history of passionate changemakers that our participants will get to learn about on our first conference day.\u00a0Check out the University information here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 40 leaders will be split into three different tracks to help support everyone\u2019s passions for community change. Track 1 is learning how to support and advocate for International Mission Driven Businesses<\/em>, track 2 is developing the understanding and need for Social Justice <\/em>in communities, and track 3 helps participants discuss and learn about actionable ways to support Environmental Sustainability<\/em>. Please see our wonderful Greenheart staffers leading these tracks: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
