Improving the quality of education in Arizona will improve the quality of life for all Arizonans!
Created through the collective will of diverse sectors and communities across the state, Education Forward Arizona seeks to change the way people see and support education as the key driver to improving the economy and the quality of life in Arizona.
Arizona can be proud of the Arizona Education Progress Meter - and the community engagement that led to creating statewide metrics and goals for how we measure progress on education outcomes, from early learning to college attainment. But while we've seen incremental progress, we have yet to see the big gains needed to reach the goals by 2030. We will report honestly to the public on the progress - or lack of progress - being made to improve education for all students in Arizona. And we will outline what more needs to be done to get to our commonly agreed-upon measures of education success.

The American's With Disabilities (ADA) definition of "service animal" reads as follows:
A "service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition."
Furthermore, "A service dog must be individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service dogs under the ADA."
There are 3 categories of Assistance Dogs for individuals with disabilities:
-Guide Dogs, also known as Seeing Eye Dogs, are trained to guide a blind or partially blind person around obstacles to get where they need to go.
-Hearing Dogs also known as Signal Dogs are alert to sounds that a deaf or hearing impaired individual cannot hear.
-Service Dogs are dogs who are trained to help people with disabilities other than visual or hearing impairments. Some examples of such needs are mobility, psychiatric, and medical alert for diabetes, seizures or other conditions.
-Facility dogs are trained to provide services to agencies that serve our community, such as child advocacy centers, police departments and legal services.

Helping hands for single moms? mission is assisting low income single mom families as the mother attains a post-secondary education, financial independence, and positive family legacy.
The dream to assist low-income single moms with obtaining a college education was born in a most unusual way. In 2001, Chris Coffman was in his twentieth year of serving as a minister. Mr. Coffman was active in a local ministerial alliance when the group decided to become more engaged in serving the needs of the local community. It was decided that each pastor would be assigned an area to drive and look for potential needs.
It was on a warm spring morning when Mr. Coffman set out with a quick prayer. He hadn't driven far when he was startled by a young boy, approximately 5 years old, walking alone on the sidewalk of a busy street. Mr. Coffman pulled alongside him and told the boy to meet him at the next corner and that the boy could not be out alone. A woman in a passing car also pulled in. Mr. Coffman and the woman, led by the boy, proceeded to walk him home. When they arrived at an old dilapidated house, they knocked and a young girl, perhaps 10 years old, answered. Observing the wide-eyed look on her face, Mr. Coffman asked her if this was her brother. She said yes. A second question followed; Are you supposed to be watching him? Yes. As she opened the door to let her brother in, Mr. Coffman asked, is your mother or father here? She answered, just my mother lives here and she is asleep.
They left the boy in his sister's care and headed back to their vehicles. Suddenly Mr. Coffman remembered the task he was pursuing before he was interrupted. He was looking for needs in the community! Mr. Coffman had no idea where that short drive would take him. The dream of helping low-income single moms attend college was born in the days following that fortuitous journey.

OCJ Kids (Opportunity Community and Justice for Kids), founded in 1992, forming an alliance with the business and faith communities to provide services, resources and caring adults to address the needs of the most vulnerable in our society.
Founders Gary and Tammie Webb's passion was to reach out to the growing population of unsupervised youth aged 12-18 who were gathering after school with nothing productive to occupy their time and who were being tempted by negative influences, including gangs, drugs, and violent behavior.
Gary and Tammie knew these youth were making choices that would impact the rest of their lives and were determined to establish a program to offer positive activities and adult mentors who would not only encourage them to take the "right path," but could show them how through direct assistance and role modeling.
In 1994, OCJ hosted its first on campus after school program, and in 1996 opened its first of nine off campus "Target Zone" community youth centers, one serving as a certified Teen Court with the Arizona juvenile justice department.
In 2006, OCJ started the Fostering Connections Program. The goal of the program is to connect the business and faith communities with children and youth placed into the foster care system, with special emphasis on the children and youth currently living in group congregant care in Arizona and throughout the United States.
In 2012, OCJ Kids launched the Transition Success Center project, supplying hygiene Welcome Kits, Transitional Suitcases, Kinship Kits, Emergency Overnight Sleep Kits, clothing items, and visitation rooms for children and youth in the foster care system. OCJ Kids currently partners with the faith community and Child Welfare officials in Arizona, Oregon, South Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Gary and Tammie currently serve on the Assemblies of God Compassion Missionary Council, serving the community across America.

Sounds of Autism was started in 2011 to bring a voice to a silent epidemic called Autism.
Our son Landon was 9 at that time and by then I was super frustrated having to navigate the system and put all the necessary pieces together to raise our child who at that time had been given the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. It should not have been this difficult putting his life's journey together. It should have had a solid foundation for as large as the Autism community was.
I have always been one to seek solutions when I was faced with life's challenges. All we needed was a "one stop shop" offering simple solutions with results that would last a lifetime and within a safe and understanding community.
Our Sounds of Autism team got to work and today our program serves all communities that play a part in making the journey of living a life with Autism a much more successful and sustainable journey.

Our community organization was born when one Memphis father was left to raise his two daughters, after their mother passed away. The father had to teach his daughters how to cook, clean, do their hair, sit with their legs crossed... all of the things that a mother should do. Through positivity and perseverance, those girls went on to live a prosperous life, regardless of the deck being stacked against them. Because there was little support for the father and the children in our area, we decided to answer the call to action.
Real F.A.T.H.E.R.S. Inc supports dad's of all nationalities, all over the United States, raising children after the other parent passes.

Family Promise rescues primarily first time homeless families from the streets and provides emergency shelter and basic needs in a sixty day program designed to assist their return to self-sufficiency. Our shelter includes a sanctuary for the family pet, the first such program in Arizona.
Our goal is to give the family a hands-up and assist them in their return to self sufficiency. Services include case management, counseling, enrichment programs, resources and referrals with the focus on securing employment and next step housing. Our program model is based on a national model that is highly successful, and over 70% of families accepted into the Family Promise program graduate into sustainable housing. Family Promise partners with over 30 interfaith congregations across the Valley to provide safe overnight shelter, food and compassion to families in crisis.
Our objective is to rescue families quickly before the devastating effects of homelessness create a downward spiral of poverty, reliance on shelters, accompanied by developmental, academic and health problems, and ultimately foster care for the children.
