Fostering Advocates Arizona

FAAZ works to connect young adults leaving foster care with the information, resources, and support they need to successfully transition to adulthood. Their work is guided by young people who have experienced foster care and partnerships with community service providers, government agencies, and key stakeholders.

Southern AZ Advisory Committee

SAAC is made up of families, professionals, and child advocates from Southern Arizona seeking to better inform policymakers’ decisions around critical issues of children’s health, education, safety, and poverty. The committee meets monthly, communicates directly with elected officials, and helps shape CAA’s advocacy agenda each legislative session.
