You Do Not Have to Figure This Out Alone
Leaving foster care is hard. Most young people do it without much help. AzCA is here to change that, helping you build the skills, connections, and confidence to move forward on your own terms.
In 2025, we helped 544 young people in Arizona reach key goals in education, housing and employment.
Who This Program Is For
Currently in foster care, ages 14 to 20
If you are in DCS or Tribal Foster Care in Arizona and between 14 and 20 years old, you qualify. We help you start preparing for life after foster care while you are still in it.
Former foster youth, ages 18 to 20
If you were in foster care at any point when you were 16 or older and are now between 18 and 20, we can still help you. It is not too late.
