Source: Forum for Youth Investment


The Forum for Youth Investment along with the Finance Project offers highlights of what a children, youth, and families (CYF) resource map can do, and why a state or community might benefit from one, the brochure can help you make the case and spread the word about your efforts to map public resources for children. A good tool for introducing decision makers to the idea of a CYF map, the brochure can also help those who already have CYF maps in the works think about how and if their efforts are meeting their needs.  This introduction explains the why, how and what behind creating a CYF resource map. Setting the stage for what's involved in the process, this overview provides a good framework for understanding both the benefits and the challenges of getting the job done right.
