2021 BOOST CONFERENCE ACCOLADES

BOOST is hands down the Best Out-of-School Ed conference out there! Online or in-person, the attendees are engaging and engaged, energized, and bring so much to each workshop. The presenters are knowledgeable and engaging and I always leave with my head filled with ideas, information, and inspiration, and my heart overflowing with love and joy. Thanks again for creating such an amazing space for learning and professional development!

I liked there were so many choices and I picked classes most relevant to my job!

The atmosphere at BOOST is absolutely amazing. I have brought people to BOOST and they cried after attending. They were so overwhelmed with the love, support, and excitement. It is definitely a must-attend.

The conference was one of the best that I've been to in recent years. The content was well-aligned with my position, but moreover was inspiring and uplifting! It would have been a great conference to attend in person, and you can get that general sense of camaraderie from the attendees. I hope to attend again in the future.

The BEST Virtual Experience I have had. The workshop choices were fantastic, one of the BEST Inspiring Keynote Speakers ever! It was so perfect for this time.

Loved it!!!!

BOOST is like the Grammys... it is the best of the best. I am grateful to participate in this work.

Powerful, uplifting, informative, and joyful experience!

I'm so impressed by the hard work and planning completed by the BOOST Leadership team and their colleagues. Bravo to them for their generous donations of time and self to complete a great virtual event for the rest of us to partake in.

If you want to interact with some of the top people in this field and in the country, participate in BOOST.

They did an awesome job transforming it into a virtual conference!

For a first-time Virtual Conference, it was very well done!

 I thought everything was very well planned out. I learned so much too!

All knowledge shared created opportunities for growth- from thinking outside the box to learning about new resources to support our student education.

Loved the energy of the presenters and the participants.

I just love this conference and the community it fosters.

I appreciated the format of the virtual experience. It was nice to hear from "real" people who engage in youth development and have come through their experiences with success.

BOOST is always so beneficial for myself and my staff. We learn so much from the workshops and presenters, and the networking is invaluable.

This was my first time and I thought it was very well planned out and FUN.

I was so pleased with the conference and felt I took away many new ideas.
