When it comes to helping students thrive, the most important question isn’t always “How can I do this?”
Instead, try asking...
“Who can help me make it happen?”
Your dreams deserve partners who are on your side!
Ready to find your "who"?!
In partnership with the Arizona Business & Education Coalition, Grand Canyon University, Victory Schools, and the Fiesta Sports Foundation, we invite you to join us September 10th for the Classroom to Career Workshop!

Thank you for being part of our village!

Want to make a difference? You might be just one connection away...
Just ask these 21 incredible girls! When Brooke Mandelbaum, a high schooler with a big heart, dreamed of giving back and helping girls feel beautiful, all she needed was a pathway.
That’s where School Connect came in—connecting Brooke with counselor Adriana Toles at Alhambra High School.
Together, they made prom dreams come true for 21 young women from Alhambra and Cesar Chavez High Schools who had a chance to pick out their own dresses, received perfume and tickets, and created memories they’ll never forget.
This is the power of connection—reminding every student that they matter, inside and out.
Here’s to sparking more joy, one connection at a time!
