More than 120 attendees, representing dozens of local youth-serving organizations, schools, and government agencies, joined NAZA and a lineup of expert guest speakers on March 9 for the Learn, Engage, Develop! Conference for OST Practitioners for a day full of learning, networking, and fun.


Attendees enjoyed hands-on workshops on a variety of topics, including social-emotional learning, mindfulness, lesson planning, integrating youth voice, and more (a full list of speaker & workshop information can be found here).


The conference was centered around the principles of Nashville’s Vision for Holistic Youth Development and was held in the Nashville Public Library Conference Center in downtown Nashville.
