Children for Children

Children for Children

Children for Children (CFC) is a New York based not-for-profit that 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.

The organization was created through the inspiration of Silda Wall. Ms. Wall is the founding chair (emeritus) of Children for Children.

History

Children for Children (CFC) was founded in 1996 by parents concerned that many New York City children were growing up without meaningful, accessible opportunities to become engaged in their greater community from an early age, despite the powerful individual and societal benefits afforded by youth service.
