Hosted by Prosperity Initiative and Family Services Alliance, of which Safe & Sound is the backbone agency, the Children, Youth & Family Summit will bring together nonprofit leaders, City officials, foundation partners, and community members to strengthen the future of San Francisco’s children, youth, and families.

Safe & Sound sits at the center of a network of dozens of organizations in San Francisco that comprise a web of support for local families. And through our research and advocacy, we work to understand and develop solutions to systemic problems faced by families across California and beyond. The goal of the event, in line with the goals of both the Family Services Alliance and Safe & Sound, is to strengthen coordination across nonprofits, City government, and private philanthropy to provide the stability and support families need. We do this because every child has the potential to grow into a happy and healthy member of their community.

This first-of-its-kind convening will highlight the vital role that youth- and family-serving organizations play in our communities and feature honest, solutions-driven conversations focused on how we can build a more coordinated, sustainable future for San Francisco’s children, youth, families, and the workforce that supports them.
