About the Title IV-E Summit
The Title IV-E Summit, a child welfare conference, is the largest statewide event for the Title IV-E Education Program. It is planned by a statewide collaborative involving a rotating group of 35 Title IV-E Student Representatives and Title IV-E Staff. When in person, the Title IV-E Summit convenes 200-350 attendees hailing from California Title IV-E schools, counties, and Tribes. Following COVID-19 travel and gathering restrictions, this event pivoted to a virtual platform in 2021, and took on a hybrid format in recent years. The live and virtual sessions have been viewed on YouTube by over 3,000 child welfare stakeholders.
The goals of the Summit are for attendees to:
- learn from a variety of statewide perspectives
- hear from a spectrum of counties and field instructors
- gain a richer understanding of the child welfare landscape
Who should attend?
Most in-person spots will be reserved for Title IV-E students and schools. However, the summit will include a number of livestream workshops that will appeal to a broader range of participants. Additional information will be available soon.
