NEW YORKERS FOR CHILDREN

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:

NYFC was founded in 1996 by former Commissioner of the Administration for Children’s Services Nicholas Scoppetta, as the non-profit partner to Children’s Services. Over the past fifteen years, donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations have enabled NYFC to support the child welfare community as a whole, as well as those programs that focus on the individual needs of young people in foster care. NYFC has developed programs that make a difference in the lives of young people including college scholarships, tutoring programs, job training, and networking opportunities.
