Change for Kids (CFK) is a New York City-based youth development organization that helps kids living in under-resourced communities develop the skills, awareness, and connections necessary to realize the future of their dreams. Through partnerships with public elementary schools across all five boroughs of New York City, CFK creates opportunities for kids so they can overcome inequity.
Our goal is for all kids to have a fair chance at success – now and in the future. However, success is too often dictated by the zip code in which you live or the color of your skin, not your potential. In order to have a fair chance, all kids need access to opportunities to help them dream big and bold, plus the chance to develop personal agency over their future. Through a purposeful blend of programs and people, we give young people the opportunity to discover who they are, what they want to be in the future, and how to get there.
