Arouet Foundation

Arouet Foundation Arouet is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing education assistance, workforce development, and job opportunities to incarcerated women in Arizona.

Arouet had its beginning inside the Arizona Perryville Prison in Goodyear Arizona in 2004. A Department of Corrections workforce development partner, began a reentry program called T.O.P.S. to help prepare incarcerated women for life after prison. Founded as a stand alone entity in 2011, Arouet has grown to address the many barriers and obstacles to a successful reentry. The goal of Arouet and its

programs is to reduce recidivism (the rate at which felons return to prison) of the women we support. Please consider helping us with this cause and donate today.

April is Second Chance Month, and we’re honored to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from the Second Chance Center at Piestewa.

To us, a second chance means creating opportunities for women to rise, rebuild, and thrive. That is the heart of our work, both inside Perryville and in our office, as we support women every step of their reentry journey.

A second chance looks different for everyone, but it always begins with a powerful first step toward empowerment. 💛

04/08/2026

This is our why.

Arouet’s work is only possible because of the strength and support of our community with partners like Thunderbird Charities who believe in second chances and invest in what comes next.

April is Second Chance Month, and it serves as more than a moment of recognition. It’s a call to action. A reminder that opportunity alone is not enough. We must also commit to sustaining it.

Second chances require more than good intentions. They demand systems that are responsive, inclusive, and rooted in real-world experience. They require pathways that are not only accessible, but stable so that when someone is ready to move forward, there is something solid waiting for them.

To Thunderbirds Charities, thank you for standing with us and being an essential part of this impact.

“I am contributing, leading, and growing”

That’s thriving.

It’s more than stability. It’s confidence, joy, and having the freedom to choose what comes next.

It’s waking up without fear. It’s building a future that feels like her own.
At Arouet, this is the goal—and it’s only possible because people show up with support and generosity.
Help more women THRIVE!

“I have choices and control over my life!”

That moment matters.

Sustainability is where things start to click—where confidence builds and independence feels possible.

She’s learning new skills, finding her footing, and creating a life she can maintain.
At Arouet, we’re still right there—supporting her as she builds something that lasts.

This kind of change doesn’t happen without people who believe in her.

Be one of them in TOMORROW on Arizona Gives Day.

“I finally feel safe… but I’m still figuring things out.”

That’s stabilization.

It’s not perfect. It’s not easy. But it’s steady.

This is where routines start to form. Where support systems grow. Where she can finally take a breath and think about what’s next.

At Arouet, we walk with women through this stage by offering guidance, connection, and consistent care.

Your support helps turn a moment of safety into something lasting.
Join us in 4 DAYS on Arizona Gives Day and help her keep moving forward.

“Where will I sleep tonight?”

That question is real. And for many women, it’s where everything starts.

Survival looks like getting through the day. Finding safety. Having a place to land.

At Arouet, we meet women right here, with helping find safe housing, basic needs, and support in the middle of crisis.

It’s not about fixing everything overnight. It’s about making sure she’s not facing it alone.

You can be part of that first step.

Arouet empowers women to thrive.
And we can’t do it without you.

At Arouet, we walk alongside women as they rebuild their lives—and learn what it means to truly thrive.

Over the next few days, we’re sharing what that journey really looks like—from the hardest moments to the hopeful ones.

Every step matters. And every step is possible because of support like yours.

Did you know that nearly two thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer’s are women?

That is why awareness, education, and access to resources are so important.

Arouet had the incredible honor of partnering with the Alzheimer's Association to host the first Alzheimer’s Walk ever held inside a correctional facility at the San Carlos Unit at Perryville Prison. This historic moment brought awareness, education, and community directly to the women we serve.

One of the most meaningful parts of the day was the Memory Table, where each woman selected a flower color representing her connection to Alzheimer’s and left a message in honor of someone affected by the disease. The table quickly filled with messages of love, remembrance, and hope.

A special thank you to the Alzheimer’s Association team, and to our community partners who joined us in making this incredible day possible.

At Arouet, love looks like opportunity.
It looks like a woman earning her certification.
It looks like an employer opening a door.
It looks like community showing up.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating transformation — and the community that believes in what’s possible. ❤️
