FAQS

Who can become a member of AZAFAP?

Membership is open to all foster, kinship, and adoptive families in Arizona.

Some AZAFAP events are open to all foster, kinship, and adoptive families, while others are limited to Premier Members.

Premier members enjoy access to even more opportunities, including events such as Family Camp, staycations, Family Days Out, and shoe shopping. Membership also provides invitations to special family gatherings and clothing and essentials through Jose’s Closet. Most importantly, being a member connects you to a statewide community of families who understand, encourage, and support one another.

  • Programs are ongoing services that AZAFAP provides, such as Recycle Your Bicycle, Jose’s Closet, Family Connections, Family Support Services, and Children’s Basic Needs.
  • Events are individual gatherings or activities within those programs—like Family Camp, a clothing drive, or a Family Fun Day. Events give families a chance to connect, learn, and benefit from the support offered through our programs.

Event details and registration links are posted on our website, newsletter, and social media pages. Most events require advance registration to save your spot. Simply follow the registration link provided or contact our team for assistance.

Upgrading is simple! Log in to your AZAFAP member account and select the option to upgrade to Premier Membership and pay your annual fee. If you need help or prefer personal assistance, contact our team at info@azafap.org, and we’ll be happy to walk you through the upgrade.
