"A Village of Voices for Children"
Have you heard the African proverb “It takes a village to raise a child”? Every child should have a village that works together to provide guidance, encourage a sense of belonging, and offer support to positively impact their lives. It truly takes a community of family, friends, educators, and therapists. Mark your calendars for February 5-7th, 2026 and join us in Greenville, South Carolina for our annual SCECA conference. Let’s be the village of voices our children not only need but deserve! #findyourvillage | 2026 SCECA ConferenceFeb 5-7, 2026 Greenville Convention Center You must register online, even if you plan to pay by check. |

ScholarshipsThe ABCQ Program and SC First Steps 4K has offered scholarships to attend the conference. Their deadline to sign up for scholarships is stated on their application. Be sure to respond quickly to apply for these scholarships. Once scholarships are awarded, ABCQ and SC First Steps 4K will send in the information to the SCECA Registration Committee. Then, they will send you specific instructions on how to register for the conference online using a unique scholarship code. You must register for the conference online BEFORE the conference. You will have the option to purchase additional event tickets for preconference sessions, the advocacy luncheon, and pre-order t-shirts when you register. The scholarship pays for your conference registration and your SCECA membership only. If you pay your registration and membership fees before you are awarded a scholarship, SCECA can refund those fees after the completion of the conference. If you aren't sure if you won a scholarship, contact the agencies to be sure before the conference. |
