Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

From June 4 to 6, the Aspen Institute Franklin Project will host a summit on national service in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, bringing together a list of high-profile leaders from across US public, private, and civic institutions. The Summit at Gettysburg: Our Unfinished Work aims to revive a new dimension to citizenship in this country, grounded in a service year as a rite of passage for all 18 to 28-year-olds. The Summit is hosted together with the National Conference on Citizenship, ServiceNation, and Voices for National Service, featuring speakers such as Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation; Tim Shriver, CEO of the Special Olympics; Barbara Bush, CEO of Global Health Corps; and others.
