Verizon Partners with CFS

CFS was awarded a $7500 Domestic Violence Solution Grant from the Verizon Foundation for our SERV and Quixote Quest programs to pair together and create a Public Service Announcement that will teach teens about dating violence.  The experience will enable Quixote Quest teen volunteers to learn about the signs of violence and resources to turn to for help - information which they will use to produce a video that will be shared with teens in other CFS programs, as well as on Quixote Quest's Facebook page and CFS' Facebook page.  Thanks to the Verizon Foundation for partnering with CFS to raise awareness about this important issue.
