The Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation is proud to announce a historic moment as of March 1st. All programs will be expanded to serve the Verde Valley.
“Historically, the majority of our programs have assisted current and former foster youth who had cases in Prescott’s Yavapai County Juvenile Court, as well as those who resided in Western Yavapai County,” he said. said Mona Stephens, Director of Development for the Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation. .
With this expansion, the Foundation will serve over 115 additional foster youth through nine different programs. These services include grants to kids programs that provide items and experiences that contribute to foster youth’s unmet needs and a balanced childhood.
In addition, the Foundation acquired a new Family Visiting Center in Cottonwood, providing foster children with a home-like environment for safe and supervised visits with their biological families.
Foundation Executive Director Yvonne Bartlett said: This expansion will truly change the lives of many foster youth in our county. “
The Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation is seeking community donations to fund the expansion and volunteers with extensive knowledge and connections about the Verde Valley.
