Transforming Lives Through Connection
Our impact extends far beyond numbers at the Coalition for Children, Youth, and Families. For over four decades, we’ve been connecting families with resources, providing support during challenging times, and advocating for those navigating complex systems. Every interaction creates ripple effects that strengthen individuals, families, and entire communities.
Real Results
Our commitment to families creates measurable change:
Community Reach
Our services touch communities in all 72 counties throughout Wisconsin
No matter where families live, they deserve support. Our statewide reach makes that possible.
Families Supported
We provided resources, guidance, and compassionate support to 1,400 families across Wisconsin in 2024
Support eases caregiver stress so children can feel safe and thrive.
Training Delivered
Nearly 3,000 people participated in webinars, discussion groups, multi-week courses, and conferences in 2024
Well-trained caregivers create more stability and nurture growth, trust, and healing.
Resource Connections
We facilitated 111,230 connections between families and essential resources in 2024, including 11,227 resource downloads
Behind every resource is a family finding connection—and a child beginning to thrive.
Beyond the Numbers
While statistics tell part of our story, the true impact of our work lives in the experiences of families we serve:
“Until we discovered the Coalition, our children had never seen other families that looked like ours. That’s so important. Their wonderful family events give us an opportunity to relax and have fun, without having to explain or feel judged.”
“I have called over 10 different agencies and you are the first to really listen to me and provide me with resources.”
“I don’t know of anywhere else but the Coalition where, whether you’re fostering, have adopted from foster care, have adopted internationally, or you yourself are an adoptee, there is someone for you to talk to who’s been there. Everyone there is invested and it shows in what they do. I refer people to the Coalition all the time because I know they’re going to get what they need.”
