Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families

Post Published: February 11, 2015

Connect with Kids Champions

This month, Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth and Families (APCYF) celebrates people who have made a difference by connecting with kids and teens, with a display at Central Library, and a reception on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Connect with kids champions

Did you know that having 3 or more positive, non-parent adults in his or her life will increase the chance that a young person will make healthy life choices? Unfortunately, only half of Arlington teens have 3 or more of these adults in their lives.

Luckily, anyone can connect with kids! Find a teen and start listening. You’ll be amazed at what it can do – for both of you!

 

The Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth, and Families has also produced a series of videos, for parents and non-parents, who are looking for new ways to connect with kids and teens:
