Children, Youth, and Families at Risk Liaison

The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (NIFA), USDA announces the Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) program Liaison cooperative agreements to improve the quality and quantity of comprehensive community-based programs for at-risk children, youth, and families supported by the Cooperative Extension System. The CYFAR program mission is to marshal resources of the Land-Grant and Cooperative Extension Systems to develop and deliver educational programs that equip limited resource families and youth who are at-risk for not meeting basic human needs with the skills they need to lead positive, productive, contributing lives. CYFAR Liaisons are University faculty that provide technical assistance to CYFAR community and state projects and link them to the resources of CYFERnet and NIFA. These CYFAR Liaisons also provide feedback to NIFA regarding impact and needs of community programs for at-risk youth and families.
