Overview
The Valley Guardians are a community of local entrepreneurs and business owners who are in the business of building the next generation of leaders. Their Mission is to level the playing field for high-potential, underserved children in the Phoenix Valley. To do this, they 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.
To do this, the Valley Guardians has created three different scholarships that are open to all Leadership Society of Arizona students that qualify based on financial need.
