The Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Conference

Baltimore was the backdrop for inspiring discussions, leading-edge technology trainings, engaging workshops and other professional development activities at the 2009 CYFAR conference. Nearly 750 state, county and land-grant university staff and community partners attended. CYFAR conference showcases new research, programs, resources and strategies relevant to work with our CYFAR audiences. It provides an opportunity to share ideas, celebrate accomplishments and renew our commitment to at-risk children and families.
