Welcome to the 14th Annual Commonwealth of Virginia Children's Services Act Conference! This year's theme is "Elevating Youth Voices: Stepping Into the Future." We are collaborating with the next generation of leaders to drive change through their lived experiences. Our goal is to highlight the voices and experiences of youth and young adults who have navigated various child-serving systems. By bridging gaps and empowering this generation of changemakers, we hope to reinforce the value of the system of care while also challenging participants to take their efforts to the next level through honest self-reflection and exposure to content that aligns with the overall mission of the CSA: "Empowering Communities to Serve Youth."
Who Should Attend The Conference
Participants (including State Executive Council, State and Local Advisory Team) can expect to receive information and training that will assist them in achieving the mission and vision of CSA. Workshops are designed for local government representatives responsible for implementation of the CSA. Sessions are designed to meet the specific needs of CPMT members (e.g., local government administrators, agency heads, private provider representatives, and parent representatives), FAPT members, CSA Coordinators, community partners, and stakeholders.
