Historical Information
In 1994, a group of Social Service Directors evaluated the need to help each other with staff development, training and resources.  These individuals ensured bi-monthly training sessions would rotate at various locations around Arizona from the northern pine tree filled forests to the southeastern desert. These networks and sharing session took on new responsibilities including the development of the first statewide TANF funded Young Fathers program. These collaborative and networking meetings expanded into many other funded programs. Arizona  Fathers & Families Coalition has now taken on a role to share the lessons learned as Fathers & Families Coalition of America.
