Arizona Governor's Commission Angel Initiative VISTA
 
 
 
In his state of the state address, Governor Doug Ducey recognized substance abuse as a priority for Arizona, and he expressed his commitment to provide prevention, treatment and recovery resources to all Arizona communities. This VISTA assignment will provide assistance to the Governor’s Office by increasing awareness and participation in the Angel Initiative. The Angel Initiative allows citizens to walk into a police precinct, turn in their drugs and request treatment without fear of prosecution. Angels are also able to help parents secure safe placement for their children while they are in treatment in lieu of placing them in the foster care system. The program is currently being piloted in West Phoenix with the Phoenix Police Department, Maryvale-Estrella Precinct. The Arizona Angel Initiative is recruiting for the right VISTA member who can help make the program a preferred solution for someone who is ready to interrupt the pattern of addiction and reclaim their lives. The assignment would be best served by someone with a background or interest in community outreach as well as law enforcement or social work and/or case management. If this assignment appeals to you, please apply today. The program will review applications the week of November 28 and select the candidate by December 9.
