The Experience

Imagine 1,500 passionate people gathered together to strengthen their communities and neighborhoods. That’s Boot Camp; a fun, intensive one-day conference where you will learn to bring your ideas for empowered communities into reality.

At Boot Camp, you will participate in interactive workshops, meet people who can turn dreams into action, receive expert coaching, and get fired up by stories of successful community transformations.
