New Yorkers For Children  



ABOUT NYFC

New Yorkers For Children (NYFC) was founded in 1996 by former Commissioner of the Administration for Children’s Services Nicholas Scoppetta, as the non-profit partner to Children’s Services. Over the past eleven years, donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations have enabled us to support the child welfare community as a whole, as well as those programs that focus on the individual needs of young people in foster care. NYFC has developed programs that make a difference in the lives of young people including college scholarships, tutoring programs, mentoring, and networking opportunities. There are 17,000 children in foster care in New York City and through the programs and initiatives that NYFC supports, we aim to positively impact each of them.
