On Friday, February 28th, CommUniverCity joined our friends in the Franklin McKinley Children’s Initiative, Somos Mayfair and Grail Family Services at the 2014 Santa Clara County Children’s Summit to receive the Bold Steps for Children Award. The award honors community efforts that recognize the strengths that families and neighborhoods bring to enhance children’s success in learning and life.

The Children’s Summit is organized by Kids in Common, Santa Clara County’s comprehensive child advocacy organization focused on children’s issues and policies.
