Summit for Kids is an annual family expo. Parents and children are invited to the John S. Knight Center in downtown Akron to enjoy fun and educational activities, free back-to-school items and more.
The inspiration for Summit for Kids goes back to 2008, when the late Chief Justice Moyer and then Governor Strickland hosted a forum (called Summit on Children) on issues Ohio counties face in providing services for families and children. In light of the challenges discussed, they called on each county to create a task force dedicated to enhancing such services.
