With increasing numbers of children growing up in homes with two working
parents or a single working parent, today's families can benefit from the safe, structured learning opportunities like
CFA that have our focus on summer youth program activities. Recognizing that the idleness of summer can
lead to poor choices like drugs, alcohol, and crime, Caring for All offers summer programming that provides a healthy and
positive alternative. Our programs are geared to keep kids safe, improve academic achievement and help relieve the stresses
on today's working families, creating a safe place for kids to come to while also being an active intervention and prevention
force in their development.
CFA Youth Impact Programs represent an opportunity for youth to learn and grow
through quality youth programs for underserved immigrant children in the Northwest Metro, focused on choices regarding youth's
health and safety. We work with kids/youth from 8 to 18 years old, focused primarily on the immigrant community,
but also working with kids from broken homes, single parent families, homeless youth and any children who find shelter in
our programs. One of Caring for All’s greatest strengths is its ability to provide a culturally sensitive
and supportive program for immigrant youth to share concerns and struggles. One thing that is obvious
in recent programming is the large generational gap between parents who grew up in their home country, and their children
who grew up in the United States. CFA uses its programs and its connection with the community to work as
a mediator between kids and families, working to build bridges across generations that are respectful, supportive, and nurturing
of healthy family interactions.
