2025 CYFAR Professional Development Event

The CYFAR Professional Development and Technical Assistance (PDTA) Center hosts a yearly Professional Development Event. This event brings CYFAR grantees together to learn about the latest research, evaluation strategies, and program ideas and allows grantees to share best practices and lessons learned.

This year’s event will offer a multidisciplinary blend of sessions, speakers, and presentations focused on maximizing the success of our CYFAR programs. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to learn from a diverse range of experts who have direct experience and proven success in serving the needs of vulnerable children, youth, and families. In addition, there will be opportunities for networking and learning from other CYFAR programs, meeting with CYFAR coaches, and speaking with program leadership.

The event's goal is for you to learn from experts and grow professionally. You will acquire enhanced knowledge and innovative ideas to create change in your communities.
