COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS
Organizing is an integral part of CFA programs. CFA Organizers build relationships with parents through ongoing one-on-one relational meetings. Each organizer works within 3-4 schools with the goal of developing a leadership team including staff, teachers, students and parents in each school. Each team meets throughout the session to discuss all aspects of CFA program and to organize around the issues affecting the wider school community.
Currently, Child First teams are working with BUILD and the Baltimore Education Coalition in a campaign called “Transform Baltimore” to secure funding for new school construction for Baltimore City Schools. For more info visit: www.buildiaf.org
