1. Student Leadership Conference

Our annual Student Leadership Conference is an international event for ACSI member schools that takes place in Hungary in late September and early October. This is a unique opportunity for high school students to grow in their faith and in their leadership skills, and to fellowship and worship together with like-minded young people from many nations. You can find detailed information and the registration link from our Student Conferences page. Registration opens on March 1^st each year.

Who can attend?

SLC is open for ACSI member schools only. Space may be limited so early registration is advisable.

We invite students from 13-18 years of age who are open to a relationship with Christ and have leadership potential. This is an English language conference, so participants must speak English at least at a conversational level. Schools must also provide at least one English speaking adult chaperone to accompany the students. The chaperone is responsible for the safety, well-being and conduct of the students while serving to interact directly with and support the students in their understanding of the teaching and its application for their school context. The chaperone also serves as the contact person who prepares the group for the conference and guides the students as they return to implement their action plan. Knowledge of English is ESSENTIAL!

It is very important to begin your student selection well in advance to effectively prepare the group for the conference.

Registration fees cover lodging, food and conference materials. Participants must arrange and pay for their own travel.

2. Cross-cultural ministry and service trips

ACSI Europe promotes cross-cultural ministry opportunities that deepen the faith and Christian life experiences of students. New strategies are continually being implemented to give students meaningful ministry experiences and opportunities to live out their faith. Much of this happens in the context of school partnerships where schools can support each other and join in ministry to their local communities.

3. Student leadership training program

ACSI Europe provides schools with training and resource options that compliment the Student Leadership Conference. Students need opportunities to grow and serve their peers or communities with the support of a mentor or leader who can guide them in positions of responsibility and impact. ACSI staff are also available to consult with member schools who participate in our SLC program. 

4. Lectures and training for students

During school visits, ACSI speakers are happy to address students with topics on faith, character development and leadership. Some presentations are available on our YouTube or Vimeo channels.
