Santa Clara County Children’s Summit

Founded in 2008, Kids in Common’s (KiC’s) Children’s Summit annually convenes members of the over 250 cross-sector leaders to advance social justice and collaborative strategies that improve outcomes for children and youth in Santa Clara County. Through data-driven presentations, interactive workshops, and networking, participants gain actionable insights and forge partnerships that strengthen community impact. Attendees include leaders in local government, nonprofit, education, health organizations, and direct services to youth and families.

A highlight of the event is the release of KiC’s Annual Children’s Data Book, which provides critical, intersectional data on youth well-being—spanning basic needs, health, and education—to drive equitable policies, inform resource alignment, collaborative strategies and action, to ensure that every child is safe and stable, healthy, successful in learning, and thriving in life. The Summit also features KiC’s Bold Step for Children and Changemaker for Children Awards, honoring individuals and organizations that have achieved measurable improvements for children, youth, and families.​​​
