[Children for Children] [1] promotes hands-on youth volunteering and giving programs that teach and instill the value of community involvement and civic engagement in children from across the socio-economic spectrum, beginning at a young age, with an emphasis on providing resources to underserved schools.
CFC’s service-learning and giving initiatives are reaching more young people than ever before, with over 25,000 youth engaged in 2006 and a projected goal of over 40,000 in 2007. To date, CFC children have donated thousands of volunteer hours, collected close to 1,000,000 new and gently used books and raised more than $1,460,000 to benefit over 120,000 of their New York City peers.
Benefits of Youth Service
Involvement in service yields powerful benefits for young people, including: leadership, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, responsibility, increased self-esteem, character development, self-discipline, improved academic performance, tolerance for diversity, and a broader perspective on the world. These attributes are essential to the educational foundation of our next generation and build a solid framework for lifelong success and civic engagement.
