2023 Virtual Summit

Building Belonging Together

Are you ready for a motivating online experience exploring real-world strategies you can use to shore up youth weathering the loss of home?

At the 2023 Summit, we’ll learn from experts about what we can do to support children from birth to age 18 who are homeless, undocumented, or involved in the foster system. We’ll introduce frameworks, share strategies, and hear directly from individuals who have survived such loss first-hand.

You’ll leave with skills, competencies, and a community of caregivers for the children you serve.

Attend 15+ sessions, choose one of four curated workshop tracks, and make meaningful connections with others who are doing the crucial work of building belonging for youth.
