NCFL seeks adult learners to
share their learning stories
NCFL Blog: 2.21.2018
The National Center for Families Learning (NCFL)
invites adult learners to apply to be a speaker at the 2018 Families Learning
Conference, held from September 24 to 26, 2018, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Each year during our
Conference, students share their learning stories with attendees during General
Sessions (a time when all attendees are gathered together at once). Having
students share their stories of determination, hard work, and achievement
inspires us all.
