Impact Maker
Life-long leadership fueling long-term impact on Arizona’s most pressing issues.
Leading AZ
Impact Maker is powered by Arizonans like you. Get to know our Impact Teams and the people leading the work through Impact Maker.
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.

What’s Happening at Impact Maker

Valley Leadership’s Opioid Stigma Reduction Impact Team has been awarded a $350,000 grant from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health to expand its Opioid Business Toolkit, a free, evidence-informed platform designed to help Arizona employers create stigma-free, recovery-ready workplaces.

We’re excited to announce that the Impact Maker is welcoming 22 new team members, including new Catalyze graduates, previous program graduates, and strategic partners to help continue the progress of our Impact Team work. 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.
