College is expensive, that's no secret. But did you know some Arizona students are skipping college and heading straight to trade schools? Here's why: 🎓 Trade schools are WAY cheaper - you can learn a valuable skill without the giant student loan! 🎓 Faster learning - get certified and start working in just a few months! 🎓 Great jobs - trade jobs can pay well and offer opportunities to keep growing. This is a perfect option for students from families who might be struggling financially. These kids might need to start working sooner to help out at home, and trade schools can get them on their feet fast. That's where Valley Guardians comes in! We are sending local kids to trade school🏫 giving our scholars a real shot at landing a good job and building new leaders in our neighborhoods. Want to be a part of this awesome mission? You can! Sponsor a kid through trade school today! #ValleyGuardians
