Goat Yoga!

What do you get when you combine kids in foster care, goats and yoga? A wonderfully good time! Super BIG Thanks to Lil Goat Town for introducing the children we serve to your goats and yoga. The sunset was stunning, the goats hilarious and the laughter heart warming.
This has to have been one of my very favorite events EVER!
🐏🐐🌵💓🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Now Accepting Resumes

As our current Visitation Center Coordinator makes plans for grad school we are actively accepting resume's for the position.  We wish Paige the very best and thank her for her positive attitude and commitment to helping families heal.
The Visitation Center Coordinator is a vital position at Arizonans for Children and has to be filled with the right person.  We are a small staff so we need someone who is a team player, willing to help as needed and a problem solver.  Someone that identifies an issue and instead of focusing on what is wrong, finds a solution to make it right.

The right person will be able to lead a team of volunteers, focus on their strengths and motivate the team to be welcoming and nonjudgmental with everyone utilizing the visitation centers.
If you are interested in this position please send a cover letter and resume to:  az4children.sv@gmail.com with the subject line as "Visitatio…
