Team Building
As we continue celebrations across the country with friends of CDF – including community leaders, donors, elected officials, and young people and their families, we have cultivated a special space to honor those who made this milestone possible: YOU.
In communities nationwide, places of worship join in the meaningful observance of Children’s Sabbaths. These observances occur during customary worship, prayer, educational, or community gatherings.

Learn about policies that impact families and actions you can take to protect your community's interests.
