In a trail-blazing initiative, that's been going strong for over 3 years the Arizona Caregiver Coalition (ACC) is looking to support family caregivers over the phone by the power of volunteers. Help us help families and caregivers provide information and access to services to all callers on the statewide Caregiver Resource Line. The Lifespan Respite Vouchers and Arizoa Respite Locator are now available and our volunteers process those requests. Come learn about our how we create a No Worong approach that helps Arizona, by the power of careing volutneers. We have few projects awaiting you. Our volunteers are essential to help us find solutions for the rapidly growing number of families who find themselves in caregiver situations and are in need to help navigate the community support services in their area. Often, families are thrust into becoming caregivers without warning, perhaps if a spouse has a stroke or suffer an accident, caring for someone with a chronic disease or disability (people ofall ages.) As a result, family caregiver often become stressed and overwhelmed. They may not know what to do first and the best places to call for help. That's where the ACC comes in a "No Wrong Door" approach is being created, we need help with finding more community services, building community organization and caregiver advocacy building are essential to building the ACC. Come join us, located downtown near Downtown Phoenix.

Mission Statement
The Arizona Caregiver Coalition works to improve the quality of life for family caregivers across Arizona through collaborative partnerships, advocacy, resources, and respite support.
Description
The Arizona Caregiver Coalition is a community-based, 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. It was founded in 2014 to support and advocate for family caregivers in Arizona. We operate the statewide Caregiver Resource Line (888-737-7494) to answer questions and provide information. We also offer funding for respite, so that family caregivers can get a break. We partner with the Arizona Department of Economic Security, Area Agencies on Aging, and other community based organizations.
The Arizona Caregiver Coalition is an integral organization within the Arizona caregiver community. Over the course of 9 months (September 2021 through May 2022), The Arizona Caregiver Coalition will collaborate with AmeriCorps and local organizations to improve the quality of life for family caregivers throughout Arizona, and help develop a community where family caregivers thrive.
To ensure that members meet the necessary living expenses incurred while participating in the Arizona Caregiver Coalition AmeriCorps program, members are provided a modest living stipend. Members also receive ongoing professional development throughout the year. Fellows will be eligible for an AmeriCorps Segal Education Award upon successful completion of the service term in good standing with the service site (completing 450 hours of service for Quarter-time members). Most importantly, members gain valuable professional and personal experience and acquire skills in civic-engagement, teamwork and leadership during a year of service.
