The Division for Children promotes and advances the strength and well being of Arizona's children and families. This is accomplished through administration of federal juvenile justice grants and policy regarding juvenile justice, delinquency prevention, intervention and juvenile accountability.

The Division administers federal funds from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the U.S. Department of Education, which includes Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) funds, Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG) funds and Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities (SDFS) funds.  The Division for Children provides staff support and leadership to the Arizona Juvenile Justice Commission and it’s sub-committees, and oversees the Children’s Justice Act funds, which are federal pass-through funds that promote education and training in child abuse investigations and development of child advocacy centers.
