Join US for the 5th Annual Leaders Changing the System (LCS) Youth and Adult Summit

Leaders Changing the System (LCS) Summit, is a unique event developed as a culturally-specific lived experience professional resource network for child welfare decision-makers and stakeholders to partner and collaborate for system reform and policy changes. 

2025 Leaders Changing the System Youth and Adult Summit Theme and Description 

Theme: Reignite Purpose. Restore Joy. Reimagine Child Welfare.

Minnesota’s child welfare workforce has carried the weight of the system—and the hearts of our youth—for far too long without enough fuel to keep going strong.

At LCS summit, we will:

• Uplift real stories from youth, families, and front-line workers

• Provide tools for well-being, leadership, and retention

• Reimagine systems with a focus on healing, equity, and innovation

• Create space for connection, creativity, and courageous conversations

Whether you're a direct service worker or agency leader, this is your space to reclaim your fire, restore your vision, and lead change that lasts. Let’s change the system—together.
