Connecting for Children and Families

Connecting for Children & Families is a community-based, non-profit 501(c) (3) organization dedicated to transforming the lives of Woonsocket children through high quality educational opportunities and family support. CCF offers a wide range of family support initiatives, educational programs, and social services for inner-city children and their families that often reaches our neighboring Northern Rhode Island towns and cities. Established in 1995 as part of The Rhode Island Foundation Children's Initiative, CCF continues to be a leader in Woonsocket on child and family issues. CCF is a membership organization, made up of parents, community leaders, service providers and business representatives, working together to make a difference in our city.
