On Saturday, CFR's new Junior Board held our very first Family Fun Day at St. Mary's Park in the Bronx. It was an engaging and fun afternoon of ice cream from Sugar Hill Creamery, face painting, games with FunBash.us, gift cards from Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, and music with a DJ. CFR staff and Junior Board members were around to help scoop ice cream, hand out Know Your Rights resources, and connect with our community. We look forward to hosting more of these community events!

CFR is a nonprofit legal services org dedicated to keeping families together & children out of the foster system.
About us
CFR’s mission is to defend the rights of parents and youth through free, holistic interdisciplinary legal and social work representation. We fight for the integrity of families, primarily low-income Black and brown parents and youth targeted by systems of family regulation and incarceration. CFR’s model supports parents in raising their children with self-determination, reduces reliance on the foster system and youth incarceration, and addresses the underlying causes of family instability. We represent parents and youth in the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens; we provide training and technical assistance to more than 500 practitioners annually from around the country; and we work to promote systemic change that dignifies and benefits youth and families.
