California’s restoration community is such a great group of people, but not all of us have the means, when we are starting out, to afford registration, travel, and lodging. That why SERCAL wants to make it possible for future restoration leaders to have the opportunity to get their foot in the door, to network, to learn, and to start building lifelong working relationships and friendships with members of our community.

So whether you are a student, an emerging professional, or want to transition from your current career to the BEST career of all, we’ve got you covered!

We’ve been calling students and emerging professionals the Next Gen, but really we are talking about the Next Gen or restoration leaders, so don’t sweat the age stuff. Many of us have at least three careers in our lifetime.

Registration is waived for Next Gen attendees if they present (a poster works!) or volunteer 2-3 hours during non-session time.

Lodging is waived if you are happy to stay in the dorm (til we run out of rooms) — depending on the response we get, some Next Gen attendees may have to share a room, but we’ll make sure you get the right kind of roomie for your needs.

And we’ll provide travel stipends for those of you who need it. We’ll also put up a ride board so that any attendee can volunteer to give you a ride.

But first of all, you need to fill out this form so we can begin the process. We are actively seeking funds to offer as many stipends as we can. Send this form in as soon as you can and we’ll start the process. Ready, set, go!!

Oh, and let us know if you have questions: info@sercal.org.
