First we want to thank you for your time and effort to make this event happen. This event is to help support the foster and adoptive parents that are required to obtain 6 hours of additional training to care for the children placed with them. This event is a one day training event that can give them all of these hours all in one day for the year. This event is huge! We will need volunteers to help set up the facility for the trainers as well as the attendees. We will also be serving breakfast and lunch to the attendees. We will also need help with the tear down of the rooms we set up. If you are bilingual, this would also be helpful. Please let us know if you are!
We have several different positions for you:
7am-10am
11am - 2pm
1:30pm - 4:30pm
You can choose to stay for a minimum of three hours to help or can choose to stay for the entire day. You will need to check in with Jennifer when you get there. Also, as you sign up to volunteer, you will be sent a letter that explains location, time, and any other additional pertinent information. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We thank you for your help to this great cause!

Mission Statement
To help support foster and adoptive families for children in Arizona that are placed in the child welfare system in the custody of the State of Arizona. We provide the following services to foster and adoptive families: Training on topics related to caring for children who have experienced abuse and neglect State-provided financial support to help cover the expenses related to caring for a child in foster care State-provided medical and dental coverage for children in foster care Child care assistance for working foster parents Liability insurance
Description
There are approximately 1,5000 children in our state who are in need of safe and loving temporary and permanent homes. Deep cuts to state budgets for child abuse prevention and other support services has left many families in crisis, and cases of abuse and neglect have increased dramatically. Our state’s foster care system is overburdened and the Department of Child Safety (DCS) is understaffed. This leaves many children in need of immediate shelter. The State of Arizona, as well as the many agencies that are members of the KIDS Consortium, provide a number of supports for families that foster or adopt. There are several ways to help Arizona's Children.
