CFI OUTREACH PROJECTS
"Community Outreach for Our Family": A Child & Family Institution Publication. As a year-round resource, our booklet provides thirteen ways that families can get involved in their community, a non-denominational prayer ritual, and a monthly journal to make serving others a spiritual and memorable experience.

In the fall of 2014 and 2015, CFI brought Compassion to the forefront of our community by hosting a 11-day kindness challenge and introducing the Compassion Games; a family day with opportunities to practice and show kindness as the way to peace.
In the fall of 2016, the Institute launched “Change Makers,” a middle school service learning program dedicated to encouraging middle schoolers and their parents to give from the inside out by identifying their unique gifts that can help to change the world. This program is still going strong, today.
For well over 25 years, CFI has supported Family Connections, in East Palo Alto and now in East Menlo Park, every December. FC provides tuition-free preschool in a co-op setting to low-income families in the surrounding areas. Our CFI families help make FC families' dreams come true by donating new toys and clothing, which are thoughtfully shopped for and wrapped, and presented at a hosted parent-child holiday party. This partnership is meaningful and ongoing.
