Corporate Partnerships & Volunteer Opportunities
Partnership with Children for Children™ (CFC) provides a platform to demonstrate your company’s commitment to New York communities, our public school system, and the next generation – ensuring that young people are effectively engaged and encouraged to serve as lifelong stewards of their community.

There are many ways for companies to get involved: through customizable employee volunteer programs, sponsorship of programs & events, the Annual Benefit at Christies, family volunteering opportunities. All of these are opportunities for your company to bring alive the importance of service and community involvement.

Corporate Volunteer Events – Linking Companies and Kids in Service!
While many companies consider volunteering part of their overall business plan; the students that benefit from these volunteer projects are seldom engaged in these initiatives. CFC works to incorporate youth voice into corporate volunteer projects, and encourages employees to work side-by-side with students, serving as role models. CFC works with your company and a school partner to find the project that best matches your volunteers’ needs, and has a transformative and inspirational effect on the students and school community.

Sponsorship of CFC Programs & Events
CFC’s fast growing and highly effective programs and large-scale events such as National & Global Youth Service Day (April 20th - 22nd) and Grow Involved on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, engage thousands of youth throughout New York in service.

Annual Children for Children Benefit
Held each spring at Christie’s, the Annual Benefit (link to Benefit page) is an important vehicle through which CFC raises funds to support its youth service programs and to purchase essential educational tools for New York City’s most under-resourced schools. The Benefit also serves as an opportunity to honor exceptional members of our community who have proven to be dynamic leaders during the previous year. Please contact Rebecca Manteyat 212.850.4172 for corporate sponsorship benefits and options.

Leadership & Advisory Roles
Children for Children welcomes interested individuals to inquire about joining our dynamic CFC Council, Advisory, or Board of Directors. CFC greatly values expertise and invites members of the corporate community to take a leadership position, sharing their insight as we pursue strategic growth.

Other Employee & Family Volunteering Opportunities
Employees and their children are invited to participate in CFC service activities throughout New York such as National & Global Youth Service Day and the Service Project of the Month.
