Mission Statement
Our mission at Aviva Children's Services is to improve the quality of life for children who are victims of neglect, abuse and poverty and are in the care of Arizona’s Department of Child Safety (DCS). Aviva responds to the needs of children in foster care by providing programs and resources to enhance their self-esteem and well-being as well as supplying necessity items such as clothing, shoes, blankets and personal care items.
About This Cause
Aviva Children’s Services was founded in 1978 by a group of concerned citizens who came together to address shortfalls in Arizona’s foster care system when they were highlighted by a series of articles in a local newspaper. This group decided there were things that they could do to help, and they began to provide services and resources to foster families. Since that time, Aviva has tried to meet the unfulfilled needs of foster families and step into the gaps wherever possible to support them. Over the years Aviva has provided an array of both formal and informal supports to children and families involved in the foster care system. These services have included a tutoring program for children, a supervised visitation program, a parent training program, a parent peer support program, a specialized visitation program for mothers and newborns and a community resource center for kinship and foster families.
