Creating new beginnings for young lives was the driving passion of Charles Crittenton, the founder of Florence Crittenton, whose life's mission was to help communities around the nation serve young women in need. That passion and commitment lives on in our mission today: Give every girl whose life we touch safety, hope and opportunity.

Our mission is supported by our vision of being the national leader in changing the future for girls. We do this by: Achieving excellence in all we do, growing to serve all girls in need and being the foremost expert in gender-specific services for girls.

Florence Crittenton of Arizona is a non-profit 501C(3) organization that has served Arizona's girls and their families for well more than a century. Today we offer a comprehensive continuum of care designed to help at-risk girls from 10 to 21 overcome issues of abuse, neglect, teen pregnancy, teen parenting, and behavioral and/or mental health problems.

We also deliver charter education for students in grades 9 - 12 as well as community-based services for youth and families. Our Girls Leadership Academy of Arizona, community-based services and other programs extend our innovative programming to serve a greater number of girls and young women in our community.

Most important, Florence Crittenton creates safe environments where girls and young women can discover the support of a caring community and the possibility of a bright
new future.
