The 6th Annual Family and Youth Engagement Summit invites youth, families, system professionals, and community leaders to come together for a day of connection and reimagining. Inspired by Aladdin, this year's theme challenges us to move beyond "how things have always been" and imagine what's possible when youth and families are true partners.

Concrete Flowers will host an interactive, youth-only breakout room, including youth currently navigating the system, built to have real conversations and share lived experience. Through open dialogue and peer exchange, participants will explore lessons learned, challenge misconceptions, and create solutions to move forward together. This workshop focuses on community and practical knowledge youth can actually use, as we continue navigating life and systems across the state of Iowa.
