Overview

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."

Please join us on October 15-16, 2025, for two days of impactful training, vendor visits, and activities focused on the resilience of Virginia's CSA community.  We will explore changes in child welfare arising from various initiatives and national trends, along with evidence-based practices that promote positive outcomes in engaging youth and families in our work.

We are excited to offer sessions on service innovations, self-care, family-driven practices, and more. To enhance your conference experience and engagement, we have implemented an interactive mobile application called Guidebook. This conference will equip members of the CSA network with the skills, information, and tools necessary to continue their important work, embrace new opportunities, and confidently face the challenges that lie ahead now and in the future.
