CHANGE NEEDS LEADERS
empowering AZ Foster Youth
With a focus on developing inner wealth, we spark the greatness in Arizona’s Foster Youth to help them realize their potential while inspiring them to live united and with purpose.
Our Programs
Scott Foundation has big aspirations and a different path for Arizona foster youth. We imagine a journey that inspires our kids to be their absolute best today while making our communities stronger and more peaceful. We imagine an education and societal system focused on empowering our foster youth, not just rescuing them. We also imagine a world where these youth are taught that they are not separate, but instead, are accepted for themselves and are a part of the community that surrounds them. That can only happen when they experience that connectedness and develop their self-esteem and self-confidence.
A critical step for moving forward in life is to define one's goals and dreams, since many of these kids have no thoughts of the future past the next week or next month. One of the key questions they are asked is, "What problem would you like to solve?" That one question instills a sense of power and these young people begin to think perhaps they can make a difference. They define what success looks like to them and life is explained in a way that clarifies how the path to get to where they are today to where they want to be - is rarely a straight line. These young people, often for the first time, begin to see a future ahead for themselves.
Experiential learning is the method we apply in exposing participants to new life-skills and ways to become more whole - emotionally, spiritually (developing hope and faith) and physically - and to set a vision for their future.

Reactive Solutions
Reactive rather than pro-active, what foster care provides is basic needs. But these young people, with the backgrounds they've had, need more. Still, no state system seems to have the answers, so fires continue to be put out with funding. On average, they spend $549,890+ per-year per child.
