Here's an introduction to the Coalition for Children, Youth & Families from their website:

Every Child Needs A Champion. Every Champion Needs Support.

Our fundamental purpose is to strengthen foster and adoptive families, equipping them with the tools and resources they need to continually move toward resilience and stability. Families who use the Coalition services have:

Increased access to and use of resources

A stronger network of support

Improved confidence in their ability to be a “no matter what” family

We believe that, because of our work, foster and adoptive families are strong and resilient—they are flexible, accepting, able to celebrate each victory, and endure lifelong.
