2025 Learning & Leadership Summit

Everyone wants to see children have positive childhoods, strong supportive caregivers, and live in thriving communities! At Positive Childhood Alliance NC, we believe that happens when we align our efforts. We invite you to join us on March 18 & 19 at the Durham Convention Center to learn with us, share your expertise with our statewide audience of child maltreatment professionals and take your new knowledge back to your communities to implement lasting change.

This year’s Learning & Leadership Summit, Become A Positive Childhood Ally, is designed to build our collective understanding and to mobilize participants to advance practices that support family and child well-being. Building on our knowledge of the Science of the Positive from the 2023 Summit, we will focus on our North Star — all children and families are living a purposeful and happy life with hope for the future — through the SPIRIT-SCIENCE-ACTION-RETURN model, which emphasizes shared visions, ideas, and aligned implementation for meaningful change. This year’s Summit will take a different approach, with a focus on shared learning throughout much of the 2-day event. This means fewer breakout sessions and more opportunities for connection and collaboration with our Positive Childhood Allies.
