There are more than 10,000 children in and out of home care in Arizona and more than 2,700 in Pima County.  We are launching a community-wide campaign to recruit, train, and match adult alumni mentors with teens who are in the system now.

Studies have shown that a trusted volunteer mentor who becomes a consistent and caring adult in a young person's life can play an essential role in reducing his/her risk of unfavorable outcomes and increasing his/her chance of success in life.
