About This Cause
Founded in 1896, Florence Crittenton is the second-oldest social service agency in Arizona. Through its dynamic and rich history, it has been dedicated to serving at-risk and underserved girls and young women in the community. Devastated by the death of his daughter, Florence, from scarlet fever in the late 1800’s, Charles Crittenton turned his grief into a life-long commitment to provide safe havens for women in need. At its inception, Florence Crittenton was a refuge for sick and destitute women, an early provider of daycare for working women and a home for unwed mothers who placed their babies for adoption. Today, the agency has evolved in its mission to serve vulnerable girls and young women, ages 10-25, providing shelter, housing, healthcare, education, counseling and social support. This unprecedented array of gender-specific services is not found elsewhere in Arizona. The agency’s highly effective programs provide a unique space for these girls to develop a strong sense of purpose and accountability as well as foster a commitment of service to others.
