When you attend the Boston Conference, you have a great opportunity to give back to the Boston community before or after the conference. This is entirely optional and not part of the official conference program — but many SGs take advantage of the trip to do some good.
ASGA suggests contacting Boston Cares to find and schedule a service activity for your Student Government on Friday before the conference, or on Sunday after the conference.
