2026 National Community Schools and Family Engagement Conference

This year’s theme, Guiding Lights, Brighter Futures is a reminder: everyday matters for every child. A brighter future is only possible with collaborative action and leadership as our guiding lights toward shared goals. In uncertain times, our combined efforts and renewed commitment are more important than ever. Meeting the moment requires strength in community and connections. Every year this conference is a place to recharge and refresh, bringing together people from across the country who believe all children deserve a safe place to live and opportunities to learn and thrive.
