YOU can make an impact by empowering young girls affected by foster care to feel courageous, beautiful, and loved!

Join Foster Arizona and Superstition Springs Shopping Center in a fun-filled day of encouragement, education, and inspiration to young ladies between 8 to 13 years old who have been impacted by Arizona's foster care system.

Date: October 21st (Saturday)

Location: Superstition Springs Shopping Center

Shift Time: 7:15am - 4:30pm (LUNCH PROVIDED)

Together, we have the power to give each of these beautifully unique young women the courage to be her own individual self and build up a sense of self worth and value at a crucial time in her development!

Each young woman in attendance will be paired with a volunteer to shop for an outfit, get a hair consultation with a cut/style, and receive a face-care consultation. There will be a motivational speaker and program during lunch (which will be provided by Foster Arizona).

Thank you for volunteering your time to these amazing young ladies!

Feel free to contact us at volunteering@fosteraz.org with any questions!

There are 90,000 students in need in the St Louis area. That would fill Busch stadium twice. On August 11th we will distribute over $1 Million in supplies for 1000+ classrooms to support back to school efforts. We will have registered teachers coming through Clark street to get the supplies they need for their students to begin school strong. Going back to school should be an exciting time, but for those who can’t afford the required supplies, it’s a different story. Some students will arrive with empty backpacks: no pencils, no paper, no crayons. Imagine the boy or girl who arrives with no backpack or supplies at all. This distribution event is to ensure that we get the supplies into classrooms that need them.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County recruits, trains and supports community members to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect and are currently under court protection. CASA volunteers advocate for the child until the court case is closed and they are safe and thriving in permanent homes.

A CASA volunteer visits with the child regularly and submits a monthly court report on the child’s well-being to help the judge make important decisions about the child’s future. CASA volunteers completes pre-service training and receives ongoing support from a CASA of Brown County staff member.
