CF Centers
Children's Futures' centers are hubs of activity offering children and parents a host or resources in neighborhoods throughout Trenton.
The centers and the collaborating lead agencies include:
"The children of Trenton have brighter futures ahead of them as a result of the work of Children's Futures and the visionary guidance and support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The children of this city and so many other cities across America still face enormous challenges on their paths to adulthood - the scourge of drugs, poverty and crime are all too commonplace in their young lives - in Trenton we celebrate an agency and a foundation that understand that giving kids a good head start can make a world of difference in their lives."
