Valley Guardians

At the Valley Guardians, we're all about building future leaders. That's why we teamed up with the Swappow+ Foundation. This year, the 2024 Professional Development Course helped 23 local foster kids pick up real-world skills for their future careers—all through skateboarding! While mastering skate tricks, these students also learned life skills they'll carry forever. As our 2023-2024 program wrapped up, every single scholar completed the course. We even had 5 returners and 2 who stepped up to become coaches! Nearly every student said this was the most important accomplishment in their lives so far! Thank you for supporting local foster children in Phoenix to reach their full potential!

Our Valley Guardians Leadership Program empowers underprivileged youth, giving them the skills to become future leaders! We just wrapped up the Valley Guardians Executive Leadership Program for the year, and it was time to celebrate! Our Executive Leadership scholars had a blast with team activities, delicious food, and honoring our graduating seniors. We believe that fun fuels change, and our end-of-year celebration for these scholars proved it!

The only thing shining brighter than fireworks this 4th of July is the future of the children here in Phoenix. We hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!

Yesterday, the board held our yearly planning session, focusing on how we can continue to make a bigger impact for the children of the valley. We couldn't do it without the incredible support from our donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers. Thanks to your support, we raised a million dollars to help the kids in our community and continue building future leaders. You can watch the video here! https://lnkd.in/gXEbQnxJ
