Work and Witness Conference Program

Will it be worth your time and money?

We want this event to accomplish three things:
  1. Help improve Work & Witness experiences through some training
  2. Allow people wanting to put together a trip (or even just to go on one) to connect with opportunities at home and abroad
  3. Do some constructive de-briefing so that people process their past W&W experiences in productive ways
