The Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program offers youth aged 6 to 21 the opportunity to have a friend who serves as a guide, with whom they can talk and share their life experiences.

E3 AZ Foundation, Inc. is excited to announce that we are hosting our first ever virtual PosiPaws [Stuffed Animal] Drive! Our Mission is to *Encourage (E1), Equip (E2), and Empower (E3) youth in out-of-home care, foster care alumni, and their supporting families by providing goods and services that promote love, support, and motivation. The pandemic this year has without a doubt slowed down our traditional events but we will continue to find alternatives to continue to Encourage (E1), Equip (E2), and Empower (E3) our youth in this season. This Christmas season, we have a huge goal to achieve. Our goal is to collect and distribute at least 300 new stuffed animals. These stuffed animals are more than just another toy to fill a room. Each plush friend given we do it with intention, love, and purpose. Their positive messages and warm fuzzy hugs help children feel loved, appreciated, comforted, and bring a much needed, big boost to their self-esteem. We are very appreciative for your generosity and creativity as we create positive, inspiring, encouraging and empowering messages that will be attached to each stuffed animal.Available Shifts
