21st Annual Families and Fathers National Conference
February 24-27, 2020
Hilton Los Angeles Airport

Los Angeles, California 90045
I am honored to announce The Family First Scholarship supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation as a Title Sponsor and State of California First 5 as a Co-Sponsor for the 21st Annual Families and Fathers Conference, Next Level 2020! the terms "putting family first" and "it takes a village to raise a child" parallels with why we have chosen to use the funding to support young parent scholarships at the 21st Annual Families and Fathers Conference.
Second and third are two very important and limited gifts to give away. Recent grants provided by the Annie E. Casey Foundation nor First 5 to support and invest in young parents to attend our 21st annual conference.
The Family First Scholarship is a program that through our partnerships with AECF the following is what we hope you will assist a young father or mother that is in or recently aged out of foster care.
AECF also wants to include young fathers who are transitioning out of the juvenile justice system as an opportunity to pour into youth who are parents.
When you or a representative register for the full conference, it is like a two for the price of one. We must have a registered representative for every foster-care young parent Family First Scholarship attendee. As an example, if you have registered five staff then five foster-care young parents are scholarships are available (limited to the first 50). AECF will have its national leadership and staff in attendance to greet and recognize the Family First Scholarship attendees.
The Family First Scholarship with the First 5 will give young parents who are pregnant with children up to age five (0-5) a partial scholarship. The partnership with First 5 allows for a similar process that for every full-conference agency representative attendee a young parent can be registered at the one-day rate for the full conference (50%+ savings). The Family First Scholarship for parents of young children is also limited to the first fifty attendance.
How do you secure the scholarship(s) and savings?
The online registration is powered by our new partner CVENT register here today. You can use the discount code to apply at the end of FFCA2020.
The Family First Scholarships will be available after you have registered and or a representative. You will receive a confirmation email from the CVENT. Please forward that email to my assistant, Mrs. Alfie Mendoza-Tarazon at alfie@fathersandfamiliescoalition.org. You can opt to use a registration form that is on page 66 of the official conference program attached. The second option includes contacting us for a unique code to apply for the Family First Scholarship the general conference attendance.
What is not covered with these scholarships and discounted fees?
We have an amazing program. Yes, the program is 71-pages but after you get to review the entire program, it will give more than a glance:
- There are four specialty training (some are awesome for parents!) programs for additional costs;
- Hollywood Networking Night ($39), and lunch meal tickets ($15) to go with the two fireside general session chats;
- The closing gala ($40) is a wonderful experience also not covered by these discounts;
- The travel and hotel are normal costs associated with attending a conference, however, we have worked with the Hilton to keep the hotel room reservations at or below federal government rates, but they are limited rooms available!
I cannot attend this year; can I share this opportunity?
The Family First Scholarships are an open program that I want to give to past attendees and our members first, but you can share with others as the scholarships will end on 12/31/19.
What if we do not have the names of parents but want to take advantage of the scholarships?
I understand reserving a slot for a parent will take time. Therefore, just work with us and if you are confident that your agency will send a parent (1:1) then register staff and we can use a TBD option. We want to use this Family First Scholarship for parents to get an experience that is both influential and powerful in their journey and you as a champion will be the one to help each young parent.
