Happy New year to our CCV Community.
Take a look through our offerings and opportunities this month. We’re looking for new Alumni Board Members to support TFA CCV in being change makers in our community. We have our January Happy Hour event coming up. As you enter the new year, we hope you will join us in continuing our work to support and actualize our dreams for our kids, families, and communities in the CCV. Whether you make new year resolutions, or keep a year-round pace towards your goals, we hope to work in collaboration this year.
