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. 

Doors open at 9:00am for registration. Registration will take place between 9am and 9:30am. Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided. The formal program will begin at 9:30am and conclude at 3pm. Early arrival is encouraged to accommodate time for registration.

The program will take place at the McLaren Conference Center, located across from the USF bookstore at 2130 Fulton Street.

Early bird tickets are available as of Monday, October 5th.
