“We cant change what we tolerate.” - Dr. Myles Monroe
Only *5% of Arizona's children are Black, but represent about **17% of the state's foster care population. We have an intentional focus on supporting the Black community in Arizona. On the long journey for change, we are committed to serving the Black community to help them realize Justice now. We are also partnering with other community organizations to help preserve families and avoid unnecessary child removals especially in the overrepresented Black community.
