Mission

Children for Children promotes hands-on youth volunteering and giving programs which teach and instill the value of community involvement and civic engagement in children from all backgrounds beginning at a young age, with an emphasis on providing resources to underserved schools.



CFC is a New York not-for-profit founded by parents to foster community involvement and social responsibility in young people, offers youth service and philanthropy programs—including CFC`s Celebrations Program, Children`s Action Board, Book Programs, Special Events and Projects, Do Your Own Thing and Kids for Community database of NYC youth volunteer opportunities —that create opportunities for kids to engage hands on in volunteering and giving from an early age.



Many CFC programs generate valuable resources for schools and teachers struggling to offer quality education to New York City`s underserved communities, since even the very young can grasp and empathize with what it must be like to try to learn without enough resources such as books, markers, microscopes, music and gym equipment. CFC programs invite you to explore a wide range of needs and learn how even the smallest individual acts can make a huge difference.





CFC’s programs are easy to use and accommodate a wide range of ages, abilities, interests and busy schedules—just right for kids, families, schools, educators and even other community youth organizations.
