Events

Now in its 20th year, the National Tribal TANF Institute brings together Tribal TANF staff from across the country for a unique educational experience. Our 2025 theme, Twenty Years of Tradition: Celebrating Today and Tomorrow Together, will emphasize the importance of honoring Tribal values, cultures and traditions while also embracing new ideas, practices and innovations to make our native communities stronger for future generations. We’ll also explore programs, opportunities and resources for Tribal youth and young adults to help them transition into thriving adulthood.

The Northern Academy at UC Davis Human Services is delighted to host the 2025 West Coast Child Welfare Trainers Conference at the Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown – Arena! We hope you can join us Sept. 8-10 as we unite trainers across the West Coast to share knowledge, strengthen connections and elevate child welfare training.

Mission Possible: Impacting Change and Transforming Lives

The 2025 Autumn Institute returns as a special three-day, mornings-only virtual event Nov. 12-14! The annual Institute is an ideal opportunity for managers, supervisors and workers from across California and beyond connect with UC Davis to learn new techniques for efficient, effective and sensitive delivery of services. This year, we're going all in on the theme Mission Possible, because together we've proven time and again that we can and do make the impossible possible. We invite you to join us as we learn new strategies, expand our thinking and continue to grow in our capacity to serve the adults and families in our communities in new, innovative and positively impactful ways.
