Join the YPC and Lead the Change!

Mon.Aug.20.2007

Children for Children is looking for teens (8th–12th grade) to serve on our Youth Planning Committee for the 2007-2008 school year.

CFC’s Youth Planning Committee (YPC) is a team of New York City teens that meets once a month to plan service events. The team’s primary goal is to develop and run a successful kick-off event and service event for Global Youth Service Day in April. The YPC also plays an instrumental role in CFC’s Family Fun’raiser, Grow Involved on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and Service Projects of the Month, helping to run activities and providing guidance to younger volunteers. Last year, 19 teens from 11 different schools developed a Poetry and Music event addressing current issues facing our communities and world that launched a weekend of volunteering during National & Global Youth Service Day.

September 11, 2007: Heroes Come in All Forms

Wed.Sep.12.2007

September 11 is a day of remembrance and reflection. It is a day to think about the victims of 9-11 and to honor all of the heroes who have worked tirelessly over the past 6 years to help make our country, and world, a better place.

This year, students from IS 286 in Manhattan learned about the importance of giving back and how, through volunteering and service to others, they can become heroes at school and in their communities.

Click here to read about IS 286's September 11th day of service, and about their project to support the men and women serving in Iraq.
