<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Students can volunteer for just four hours during the conference and receive 75% off the registration rate. It’s a great way for students to get involved, connect with social workers from across Texas, and
gain valuable experience they can carry into their careers. Volunteer registration is open now, but spots are limited! The deadline to register is October 7, 2026.
