Welcome to the CARE Community Connections Conference!

Join 350–400 students, educators, researchers, youth, families, and community partners for a fun and inspiring day focused on child and youth wellbeing and social-emotional learning (SEL).

Enjoy keynotes, youth panels, workshops, discussions, research, and community showcases that bring together lived experience and practical ideas for classrooms, programs, and communities. Youth and community voices are at the heart of the day.

And the fun continues after school with our Halloween Family Market Fair! Come in costume, bring family and friends, and explore local vendors, artists, authors, and community organizations.
