In Arizona, over 10,000 children are currently in foster care, with approximately 700 aging out each year without permanent support systems. Many of these youth face long-term instability, with 1 in 5 at risk of homelessness and 1 in 4 facing incarceration. Investing in foster youth provides critical resources and guidance that can disrupt these outcomes and create pathways toward stability and success. This support not only changes individual lives but strengthens families, communities, and the future of Arizona as a whole.

Youth in Group Homes

Youth placed in group homes often experience higher levels of instability, trauma, and limited access to consistent mentorship and resources. In Arizona, thousands of children in out-of-home care rely on these environments, yet many still face challenges transitioning into adulthood without support. Without intervention, these youth are at increased risk of homelessness, unemployment, and system involvement. Providing consistent resources and support helps build confidence, life skills, and a stronger sense of belonging.

College Scholarship Donations

Access to higher education remains a major barrier, with only about 3% of foster youth nationally—and similarly in Arizona—earning a college degree. Financial limitations and lack of guidance often prevent capable youth from pursuing college opportunities. By funding scholarships and providing structured support, we help break cycles of poverty and create long-term economic mobility. Investing in education is one of the most effective ways to change outcomes for youth and strengthen communities across Arizona.
