Community Partners

It would be impossible to host this program without a broad network of supporters. These organizations and individuals are providing tremendous support to the Hispanic Youth Symposium in Arizona.

The Chandler Compadres are a non-profit charitable organization that has spent a quarter century helping build stronger families in the East Valley. The group has donated more than $4.5 million to Valley charities, particularly those benefiting youth academic and development programs. The Compadres chartered the Chandler Boys and Girls Club in 1983 and continue to be a sustaining member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley.
