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. The Title IV-E Summit convenes 200-350 in-person 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
