Our Mission
Our Mission is to level the playing field for high-potential, underserved children in the Valley. We are committed to fostering a community of passionate entrepreneurs and business leaders who are dedicated to empowering children to reach their full potential and have fun while doing it.
We believe in fun, transparency, and the power of a close-knit community to create change for children. 100% of our donations go straight to the cause, we’re building a brighter future for our children in our Valley.
We’re building future leaders and Valley Guardians, one success story at a time.
The Valley Guardians Impact
Valley Guardians Executive Leadership Coaching Scholarship
The Valley Guardians Executive Leadership Coaching Scholarship is a multi-year coaching scholarship that provides students one on one mentoring and leadership training with certified coaches that help students become happier, more successful, and plan for their futures [valued at over $5,000 per year]. Our approach is based on 28 years of industry research and 40 years of family experience.
Valley Guardians Executive Leader Scholarship
The Valley Guardians is proud to offer the Executive Leader Scholarship. This scholarship is to support those students who have done all they can to support themselves but still need additional financial assistance. It is for those students who have made significant achievements despite overwhelming adversity in their lives. The most impactful leaders are not distinguished by their titles, incomes, or accomplishments. The best leaders have gone to exceeding lengths to better themselves.
Valley Guardians Trade School Scholarship
The Valley Guardians is proud to offer its new Trade School Scholarship. This is a need/merit-based scholarship, awarded to exceptional high school seniors and older, living in Arizona, who need financial support to continue their dreams and success through trade or vocational education.
Valley Guardians + Challenge Foundation
The Valley Guardians and Phoenix Challenge Foundation build future leaders in the valley by breaking the cycle of poverty. Together we support scholars entering middle school through their college journey. Each year, Challenge in Phoenix adds a class of six scholars, and today is proud to support 48 scholars in grades 5-12 each year. The Challenge Foundation continues to support our scholars throughout their collegiate careers at universities across the country.
Valley Guardians + Santo Nino Initiatives
The Valley Guardians + Santo Nino Initiatives go above and beyond to offer financial assistance to children in need. We’re dedicated to ensuring the kids in the poorest communities of the valley experience unforgettable holidays and feel a sense of stability and hope.
Valley Guardians & Swappow+
We believe that fun fuels change, and that is why we are proud to partner with the Swappow PLUS Foundation. The Swappow+ Professional Development Course, serving over 20 local foster children, teaches valuable, real-world skills that can be directly applied to their future careers, all through skateboarding!
