Mission
The Changing Children’s Worlds Foundation (CCWF) mission is for every child and adolescent to be supported in positive development by caregivers and professionals within loving, non-violent families and peaceful communities. Through parent groups and educational workshops we strive to promote a sense of community and foster empathy and restorative justice for all. Our special Youth mission is for our “The Best Start: All About YOUth” program to support Youth to succeed by providing a stimulating social/emotional learning experience that strengthens students’ knowledge, confidence and capacity to succeed not only at school, but also at home. And this is especially needed by youth in the current COVID-impacted era.
