Experience Love is Local
Love Is Local brings together neighbors, leaders, and partners around the power of strong neighborhoods and what becomes possible when we work together.
STRONG CITIES BEGIN WITH STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS
The Love Is Local Summit is Lift Orlando’s annual convening, bringing together business, philanthropic, civic, education, and community leaders around a shared belief: strong cities begin with strong neighborhoods.
This year, we’re exploring Neighborhoods for Childhood Flourishing and one powerful question:
What does it look like to support a neighborhood where every child has what they need to thrive?
Children do not experience housing, education, health and wellness, economic opportunity, and community as separate systems. They experience them together as childhood.
Love Is Local invites us to imagine what becomes possible when neighborhoods support the potential of every child and what that vision could mean for neighborhoods across our city.
ABOUT THE SUMMIT
Building stronger neighborhoods takes all of us.
Love Is Local brings together leaders across business, philanthropy, government, education, health care, and community, each with a role to play in creating a city where every child can flourish.
