for organizations

Join CACF as an organization and become a part of our movement for Asian Pacific American children and families.

We invite you to be a partner organization or to hold an advocacy institute or parent education workshop for your organization.

 

Partner Organizations

Partner organizations collaborate to create, promote, and improve the quality of life for the Asian Pacific American community in New York City.  Partner organizations:

  • Participate in meetings with CACF and key city and state elected and appointed officials to ensure that they extend resources to the Asian Pacific American community
  • Speak at press conferences and public hearings to help city and state elected and appointed officials understand the needs of the Asian Pacific American community
  • Write a letter to the editor of local newspapers about the importance of improving the quality of life for the Asian Pacific American community
  • Collect stories from parents, youth, and children about their experiences in New York City and their needs in the community.

To become a partner organization of CACF's ACT Now campaign, please fill out this form (get sign-on form) and mail or fax it in to (212) 785-4601.

 

Advocacy Institutes

Advocacy Institutes are half-day workshops dedicated to training participants in policy advocacy.  The training will increase participants' understanding of New York City politics and budgeting, model effective advocacy skills and strategies, and improve their impact in hearings, press conferences, campaigns, and legislative meetings.  CACF believes that we all have a responsibility to ensure that resources for the Asian Pacific American community are strongly supported in New York City.  Advocacy is a perfectly legal activity for non-profit organizations, and it's fun!  You can also invite youth and parents to play a strong role in advocacy efforts.

To hold an Advocacy Institute, please contact CACF with your name, the name of your organization, contact information, and the location and date you wish to hold the training.  Advocacy Institutes may be adapted to the needs of your organization as needed.

 

Parent Education Workshops

A part of our Project B-SAAF (Building Supports for Asian American Families, pronounced "be safe") initiative is to inform Asian Pacific American parents of their rights as parents, local laws on child rearing and discipline, and ways to keep children safe from abuse and neglect, CACF can lead a parent education workshop for organizations and distribute multilingual parent education brochures.  The workshop will provide clear, easy-to-understand information on the child welfare, education, and health systems.

To schedule a parent education workshop, please contact CACF with your name, the name of your organization, contact information, and the location and date you wish to hold the training.  Parent education workshops may be adapted to the needs of your organization as needed.
