The annual Human Services Institute, presented by Community Solutions, is the place to be for anyone who wants to make a difference in Northeast Ohio.

The Human Services Institute is the region's longest-running educational event on health, social, and economic issues. The one-day conference is traditionally attended by hundreds of people from diverse organizations, including service providers, advocates, funders, volunteers, public officials and other community leaders, students, and interested citizens.

In addition to lectures, workshops, and exhibits, the program includes the presentation of prestigious awards: (1) in March, the $20,000 Anisfield-Wolf Memorial Award for outstanding service by a nonprofit organization, and (2) in October, the MTV: Most Treasured Volunteer Awards for individuals nominated by community organizations.
