Membership with CAFCA allows agencies to stay informed about local, state and national issues that may affect them. It also provides several training opportunities for the staff of agencies.

CAFCA works throughout the year to advocate on behalf of member agencies and the children and families they serve. We advocate on the local, state and national level, coordinating with other advocacy groups on issues of common concern. Over the past 20 years, CAFCA has influenced many public policy issues and the creation of legislation benefiting children and families.

CAFCA keeps its members highly informed through the CAFCA Brief Update, frequent email and memos which convey details and interpretation of relevant issues. During the legislative session, members also receive regular legislative updates from the lobbyists.

Annual Conference - Each year, CAFCA holds is Annual Conference for those working in the field with children and families. This one day program provides staff of local agencies the opportunity to relax and learn in a comfortable atmosphere with their peers.

Seminars - CAFCA offers various seminars throughout the year on current issues facing child welfare providers.

One of the most important benefits of CAFCA membership is the networking opportunities with similar organizations who are also committed to best practices when working with children and families.

About CAFCA

CAFCA is a broad based group of not-for-profit organizations uniting together to develop the best care possible for Colorado's children and their families. CAFCA was created in 1982 to advocate for child welfare services, working on policy issues with the state and local governments to strengthen the child welfare system.

The Colorado Association of Family & Children's Agencies, Inc. provides research, education and training to agencies serving Colorado's vulnerable children. For some helpful action links please click on our Advocacy in Action for Kids page.
