We are gearing up for this summer's Positive Schools Conference on July 17 at James Lawson High School, and we need YOU!
This event brings diverse community partners, mental health providers, and leading experts together to provide powerful experiential learning that can transform school culture, strengthen support systems, and improve the overall success and wellness of students.
We are looking for volunteers to help with setup, breakdown, and everything in between to help the conference run as smoothly as possible. All volunteers on July 17 will receive lunch and will be able to sit in on conference sessions outside of their volunteer shift.

Academy Partners directly help students explore career pathways through their connections with the Academies of Nashville (AoN). The AoN are high school Career Academies that strengthen student skills in workforce-specific focus areas, such as arts, engineering, hospitality, information technology, and healthcare, and are a major part of the Metro Nashville high school experience.
Academy Partners are recruited and managed by PENCIL, one of the Academies of Nashville Founding Partners. If your business or organization would like to learn more about becoming an Academy Partner, please visit the PENCIL website today!
