2026 Children, Youth, and Family Summit
Thank you to our Premier Sponsor: University of San Francisco's Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good
Hosted by Prosperity Initiative and Family Services Alliance, the second annual Children, Youth & Family Summit continues a growing cross-sector effort to strengthen San Francisco's ecosystem of care for children, youth, and families.
The 2025 Summit showed what's possible when San Francisco's nonprofit community, City officials, and funders are in the same room together. That momentum is carrying us into 2026 because one convening isn't enough. The 2026 Summit will bring together nonprofits, City officials, philanthropic partners, families, and community members to reflect on progress, move shared priorities forward, and leave with concrete commitments to continued action. Showing up together, year after year, is how we build a San Francisco where all children, youth, and families can stay and thrive.
