State of the Child Event

Presented by the American Electric Power Foundation

“Every minute of the event was a beautiful celebration.”

Please enjoy Directions for Youth & Families signature event – our 34th State of the Child. Our kids welcomed 275 guests at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on May 10. The event includes music and dance performances along with poems from the kids. We share information about the purposeful mission of DFYF and celebrate the resilience of our community. It’s informative, entertaining, and amazing. We hope you enjoy!

Thank you to all who helped us raise over $135,000….. if you haven’t yet, there’s still time to donate! We would love to reach $150,000 for DFYF counseling and education programs provided in central Ohio.
