About this Event
Whether you're staff of a community-based organization, a social worker, educator, counselor, community advocate, or legislator, this summit will provide opportunities to network, learn, and collaborate with others dedicated to serving children, youth, and families in the Marion-Polk region.
We have lined up engaging breakouts, inspiring speakers, and some time to connect with one another as we explore what it means to Ignite Hope through four summit tracks:
- Hope
- Resilience
- Connect
- Rise
Check out the full agenda below!
Again this year, we will also be featuring a poster session as an opportunity for more community engagement, along with welcoming a variety of organizations to exhibitor tables.
