This Dorothy Garske Center has conducted many programs for the people of Arizona since its inception in 1985. The Center is now in its phase down period. The three primary programs of recent years are listed below. The advance directives program is now all web based and we will transfer these resources to another entity when this site closes. The Get-Fit Stay-Fit Challenge is available as as self-administered program. Volunteers for Outdoor Arizona is now an independent corporation with Federal tax exempt status (501(c)3). The Center's final mission will be to help VOAz achieve financial self-sufficiency.
