Change 4 Children Campaign 2025

Change a Child’s Life

Giving to Robin’s Nest provides seriously abused children with services that help them –
1. feel safe again.
2. trust adults again.
3. seek justice as a victim of crime.
4. know they will heal physically.
5. understand what has happened to them through therapeutic, trauma-focused counseling.
6. regain a sense of control of their life.

Give to CHANGE for CHILDREN

Here at Caldwell Applied Sciences Academy, our three academies are holding a friendly competition to see which academy can raise the most money for this event. Below are the academy links to donate to Robin’s Nest.
