JOIN US FOR THIS INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL EVENT

Join us for the 2026 National Summit on Youth Well-Being, a virtual national gathering that brings together youth-serving professionals, organizational leaders, and community partners who are committed to strengthening the systems and supports that help young people thrive.

Kids are stronger when they are surrounded by a network of caring and supportive adults. The Summit explores what it takes to build those networks and to ensure every child, in every community, has the relationships, resources, and opportunities they need for lifelong well-being.
