Save the Date: ImpactGZ 2025 | International Service Summit (Nov 21–22)

Mark your calendars. Rally your Teams. We are excited to announce that AISG will be hosting ImpactGZ on November 21-22, 2025 and extend a warm invitation to you to attend with a team from your school.

Powered by a purpose to inspire changemakers and connect communities, ImpactGZ is a FREE two-day international summit redefining how service can transform education and the world around it. 

Featuring world-renowned service-learning expert LeeAnne Lavender and global-reaching organization Crossroads Foundation, alongside visionary leaders and passionate advocates, this is your chance to join a movement to build sustainable communities through intention, compassion, and connection.

Service transforms everyone involved. It challenges communities to listen more deeply, connect more authentically, and build lasting change together. It teaches compassion. It inspires transformative learning that extends beyond the classroom. It encourages agency and action and it builds global connections grounded in empathy. Service is a shared journey, where every voice is seen, heard and valued in shaping meaningful, lasting change.

Summit Purpose

ImpactGZ is a call to action → an invitation to transform how international schools approach service, as a shared, sustainable, and community-driven impact. 

  • From transactional experiences → to relational partnerships
  • From deficit-based → to asset-based thinking
  • From assumption-based → to inquiry-based service
  • From isolated initiatives → to integrated, sustainable engagement

ImpactGZ creates space where students, educators, caregivers, and community partners come; share ideas, be heard, co-create, and take action.

Join us at no cost — registration is completely FREE, and we’re delighted to provide complimentary transportation to and from select partner hotels.
