Champions Of Hope
CHAMPIONS OF HOPE 2020-2021
Leadership. Service. Philanthropy.
Champions of Hope is a unique program that provides young men an opportunity to serve as stewards of The Centers for Youth & Families and develop leadership skills. Champions of Hope, co-chaired by Andrew Carroll and Candace Carr, are young men in 11th and 12th grades who complete a leadership, service and philanthropy program hosted by Centers for Youth and Families. They learn leadership and advocacy skills, volunteer at The Centers and with other community organizations and raise funds individually and in groups to address timely social issues – including homelessness, depression, suicide prevention, and human trafficking.

Why Centers?
For over 130 years, Centers for Youth & Families has been dedicated in the important mission of building healthy children, families, and communities throughout Arkansas. CFYF serves thousands each year, offering Outpatient Counseling, Emergency Psychiatric Services, School-Based Therapy, Residential Care, Day Treatment, Therapeutic Foster Care, parent education & resources, and an Emergency Shelter. Many of these children would have no access to the help they need were it not for Centers for Youth & Families.
