Breaking stigma’s and advocating for those who can’t for themselves? We are MIKID, the largest family support nonprofit in Arizona and we are looking for dynamic individuals looking to be the change they want to see in the community. If this sounds like you, and you are looking for a career that makes a difference, then check out some of our stories. As if you need any further persuasion.
