Hi my name is Arielle Black-Foley and I just moved here from Massachusetts to serve as the outreach coordinator for the Prescott Area Women’s Shelter through the (AmeriCorps)VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) program. The Prescott Area Women’s Shelter is the only shelter for homeless women (and women with children) here in Prescott. In addition to providing women with hot meals, showers, and shelter, we provide weekly case management and monthly workshops on topics such as resume building, financial literacy and self esteem. While our immediate goal is to provide our guests with shelter and fulfill their basic needs, our main focus is to insure that our guests are well-prepared to seek permanent housing and live independently. The above resources help to make that a reality.
I am so thrilled to be involved with P.A.W.S. and to begin coordinating events, writing grants, speaking on behalf of the shelter and managing our social media (we now have a Facebook page). Furthermore, I am excited to be living in Prescott and finding out first-hand what a close knit community looks like.
