VQ has deep roots in Arizona. We first opened our doors in Tucson nearly fifty years ago with the simple goal of improving the lives of children in difficult situations. Though the company has evolved over the decades, our mission remains the same. Today, we have staff and offices located throughout the state that work directly with youth and families, as well as administrative staff who are familiar with state functions and collaborate regularly with our partners to constantly improve services and create a comprehensive continuum of care.
