ABOUT US

For 40 years, Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation has n focus on creating opportunities to build self-esteem and empower children and youth in foster care. Our goal is to fund services that enrich life experiences and ensure successful transition to adulthood. There are three main ways we engage children and youth that experience foster care: 

Childhood Activities – We help bring a level of normalcy to children’s and youth’s lives by paying for sports registrations, swim lessons and other activities. Recognizing that often, the funding available from the State is insufficient, we try to close the gap and fund the things that help kids and youth experience normalcy and moments of joy.

Keys to Success – AFFCF’s Keys to Success program provides career, education and employment development services for youth transitioning out of foster care that lead them to discover their potential and a pathway to living wage employment.

Post-Secondary Programs – AFFCF Post-Secondary programs fund tuition and fees for young people who age out of foster care and wish to attend a university or community college. We make sure youth aspiring to achieve a college education know that they have someone that believes and wants to invest in their dreams.

AFFCF is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity at our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
