Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR)

The Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) program supports community educational programs for at-risk youth to develop skills for academic and career success. To assure that critical needs of children and families are met, CYFAR supports comprehensive, intensive, community-based programs developed with active citizen participation in all phases.

It may be surprising to know that:

  • More than 5,000 youth in CYFAR projects are enrolled in 175 4-H clubs, led by 1,457 youth and adult volunteers.
  • The work of 381 staff in the community programs was bolstered by the work of 4,663 volunteers—1,244 volunteers were youth and 3,419 were adults.
  • Volunteers contributed more than 92,000 hours of service.
