The Vital Village Network Leadership Summit is an annual convening where caregivers, families, educators, clinicians, organizers, and service providers come together to uplift and strengthen community driven strategies and build meaningful partnerships to improve child wellbeing.  Since 2010, Vital Village has fostered partnerships between residents and organizations aimed at improving the capacity of Boston communities to promote child wellbeing and prevent early life adversities.  Vital Village Network is based at Boston Medical Center.
