About Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona

Location:

352 E Camelback Rd., Suite 100, Phoeniz, AZ 85012, US

Mission Statement

Our Mission: Transforming children’s trauma to resilience through the arts. Our Vision: Every child who has experienced the trauma of abuse, neglect and/or homelessness has access to resilience-building arts programs and caring adult volunteer mentors.

Description

Since 1993, volunteers from the community share their creativity in the visual arts, theater, dance, music, creative writing and other art projects with children who live in residential treatment centers, group homes, and shelters. Through the creative arts, children build self-esteem and social skills, develop trust with a caring adult and learn to express emotions in a positive way.

Volunteers do not have to be artists! We have many opportunities to share your time with children who need a mentor. We offer a comprehensive onboarding and training process for our volunteers. The first step is to attend a Volunteer Mentor Orientation -- there are three each month. Registration is on our website.

Please visit our website, freeartsaz.org or call our office at 602-258-8100 for more information. The minimum age for volunteers working with children is 18 years old, volunteer in office is 15 and older.
