Connect with service-minded peers at our 2024 International Student Leadership Conference!
But perhaps most importantly, you’ll connect with service-minded peers from high schools and universities around the world and, together, make an impact on the lives of Operation Smiler’s patients born with cleft lip and cleft palate.

Operation Smile’s annual International Student Leadership Conference (ISLC) is a powerful opportunity for students like you to help change lives — and change your own, too.

You’ll learn from guest speakers who are leaders in their fields. You’ll hone your skills through interactive workshops.
