At the Fingerprints Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves access to the tools and resources they need to achieve lasting recovery, and we’re committed to helping make that process as smooth and empowering as possible.
Who We Are
Fingerprints is an Arizona based 501(c)(3) organization that exists to extend a helping hand to those who are struggling with substance use and are seeking the resources to help navigate the road to recovery.
Our services include:
- Recovery navigation program, which focuses on helping people connect with the most appropriate treatment programs for their needs
- Community events centered on developing awareness of substance abuse issues
- Drug abuse support education for parents, young people, and educators
We exist to carry the message of hope and recovery to adolescents, young adults, and their families.
Our Story
The Fingerprints Foundation was formed in 2018 by a group of parents who had been affected by their young one’s addiction / substance abuse.
Since then, our leadership and volunteer base has grown to include everything from young people in recovery, to substance abuse counselors, educators, and more.
Substance abuse and addiction have affected all of us. Our events, fundraisers, and activities go to benefit those who need it most – individuals and families who are seeking recovery.
Our Mission
To provide teens and young adults with the resources they need to overcome addiction and build a healthy, fulfilling life in recovery.
