The CYFAR Program integrates resources of the Land Grant University Cooperative Extension System to develop and deliver community-based educational programs that equip limited resource families and youth who are at risk for not meeting basic human needs, to lead positive, productive, contributing lives. The CYFAR Conference provides a professional development experience for youth and family professionals who build and implement effective programs for at risk children and their families and the opportunity to learn and to share resources with colleagues and collaborators across the nation.
