Since 1987, Phoenix has been dedicated to supporting youth and contributing to a vibrant community.

Our team of caring professionals recognizes that each person who comes to us has individual needs as well as strengths. People are the leaders in their own lives;
Phoenix is a leader in supporting them.

A staff group that represents the diversity of the people and communities we serve is of the utmost importance. Phoenix is committed to reducing barriers that have traditionally impacted access to employment and career growth. As such, we encourage those interested to self-identify their ethnicity, and or race, gender, sexuality, ability, etc. We also invite you to share your pronouns in your cover letter or resume.
