Site Description

Our two Visitation Centers provide a safe homelike environment for parents to visit with their children. This may occur as a result of foster care placement or due to a family court case related to custody/parenting time. Families visiting in our Visitation Centers have access to a playground, dining areas, toys, air hockey, books, snacks, activities and more! We are seeking volunteers for the following roles: Visitation Supervisor - We train folks to supervise court ordered visits between parents and children. Plan to take observation notes in order to write a report that will be forwarded to a Family Court Judge for long term decision making as it relates to custody/parenting time. This is an important role helping families feel welcome as they work through difficult situations. Folks in this role have excellent listening, observation, and writing skills with a desire to help families heal. I’ll be your contact for this role! Visitation Center Host – We want to be the best party in town and we are looking for the best Host to bring positive energy and smiles to the Visitation Centers! Our Hosts welcome our guests, manage onsite resources, ensure the centers are sanitized and safe, and check folks in and out. Folks in this role enjoy interacting with children/parents/community partners, work well in teams, have a positive attitude and show initiative. Contact the Visitation Center Coordinator at az4children@gmail.com to move forward with an application/interview.
