Register Now for ImpactGZ 2025 | International Service Summit
Registration is open! We are excited to open registration for AISG’s ImpactGZ on November 21–22, 2025, and extend a warm invitation for your school or organization to join this transformative experience.
Powered by a purpose to inspire changemakers and connect communities, ImpactGZ is a FREE two-day international summit redefining how service can transform education and the world around us.
Service transforms everyone involved. It challenges communities to listen more deeply, connect more authentically, and build lasting change together. It teaches compassion, inspires learning beyond the classroom, and encourages agency and action. Most importantly, it builds global connections grounded in empathy—a shared journey where every voice is seen, heard, and valued.
Summit Purpose
ImpactGZ is a call to action → an invitation to transform how international schools approach service, as a shared, sustainable, and community-driven impact.
• From transactional experiences → to relational partnerships
• From deficit-based → to asset-based thinking
• From assumption-based → to inquiry-based service
• From isolated initiatives → to integrated, sustainable engagement
ImpactGZ creates space where students, educators, caregivers, and community partners come; share ideas, be heard, co-create, and take action.
