Children & Families Action Network, a program of Family & Youth, exists to promote mission-based advocacy for the purpose of increasing civic engagement and participation to effect changes in public policy on behalf of children, families, and communities. Participation in Children & Families Action Network (CFAN) can result in increased engagement by nonprofit leaders and volunteers in mission-based advocacy and values-driven public policy goals; strengthened capacity to develop local funding strategies to support mission-based advocacy; and implementation of peer-based support of values-driven advocacy through shared advocacy work and organizing clients to implement grass-roots advocacy.
CFAN provides its members with information about local, state, and national children/family issues, training to help organizations building mission-based advocacy teams, opportunities to network with others, and tools needed to change public policy on behalf of children and families.
CFAN has identified four impact areas to address: 1) Child Abuse Prevention; 2) Education; 3) Coastal Restoration; and 4) Access to Health Care.
