Arizonans For Children, Inc.

Arizonans for Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting abused, abandoned, and neglected children in foster care. Our mission is to create opportunities and provide solutions that ease hardships and improve their lives.

In 2003, we opened Arizona’s first Children’s Visitation Center in Phoenix, offering a safe, home-like space for supervised family visits and bonding. These visits help parents practice and demonstrate skills learned through state programs, with the goal of family reunification. Due to growing community need, a second center opened in Mesa in 2007.

Since 2003, we have served more than 1 million individuals.

We are committed to help families break out of the cycle of abuse and poverty. In this time of financial crisis when people are out of work and losing their homes---the children are also being taken away because their parents can't provide for them. We focus on providing safe, comfortable and neutral environments that are specially designated for supervised visitations so that foster children can maintain the best possible relationship with their families. 

Between biological parents visits, caregivers, and the child's team, we aim to strengthen their support system. We also work to develop and offer innovative programs which help foster youth improve academic success, develop self-esteem and life-skills,  and make a successful transition to independent adulthood.
