Welcome to AISNE Student Conferences!

AISNE student conferences center the experiences and perspectives of middle and high school students of color, and foster student identity and leadership development.

For more than 30 years, the annual student conferences have lifted up the voices and experiences of student identities often marginalized in independent schools. They serve to build community, knowledge, and skills through workshops, keynotes, and student-to-student learning, sharing, and socializing. Both conferences focus on a range of topics and strive to be responsive to student needs and interests.

If you have any questions about AISNE Student Conferences, please email info@aisne.org.

AISNE intends for both of these conferences to cultivate leadership opportunities and be a positive, educational, and social experience for all participants. The AISNE team coordinates with leaders from the member schools to ensure safe, joyful, and inclusive conference experiences.
