We believe that leadership is action.
Valley Leadership (VL) launched Impact Maker as a collaborative space to solve challenges together. As part of Impact Maker, our leaders roll up their sleeves and get to work right away – drawing on the values, skills and perspective gained from their VL experience.
Joined with strategic partners and community champions, they’re able to chart a path toward thoughtful, strategic solutions on the issues that matter most to Arizona.

Alumni of all VL programming have the chance to join Impact Teams, addressing the most pressing challenges in the state.
We’re so excited to announce that Just Ask Mia, the intuitive, guided chatbot, now connects users statewide to housing services. The Chatbot’s continued development is supported by a grant from Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation.
