GROUP HOMES
OCJ Kids currently partners with over 140 group homes across the state of Arizona.
Our tools and resources assist with the needs and gaps found in foster care.
In addition, OCJ Kids’ year-round events and programs promote a sense of community and family foundation for foster kids who have none.

OUR MISSION
Youth are amazing! They hope, dream, challenge, learn and lay the groundwork for their futures and ours. The education, experience and family values instilled in a teen will follow them for the rest of their lives. Every day, youth in society are exposed to unhealthy and unstable futures.
OCJ Kids’ mission is to equip foster and at-risk children and youth by providing them tools, resources, and positive role models to succeed and excel in every area of life.
