About this Event
Join us for the Second Annual California Early Wealth Account System Summit, where leaders from across California and the nation come together to explore how Early Wealth Accounts are transforming opportunities for families.
Learn how Child Savings Accounts (CSA) programs have grown over the past year, including the expansion of CalKIDS, HOPE Accounts, and other early wealth-building initiatives. Connect with leaders from public agencies, education, philanthropy, elected officials, and community organizations as we share strategies to strengthen and scale these programs statewide.
This Summit celebrates our collective commitment to closing the wealth gap, expanding access to post-secondary education, and creating pathways to financial security for all California youth and familiesβespecially those from historically marginalized communities.
Kindly note that each individual must register separately.
