OUR STORY

South Phoenix Lights was founded in April 2023 by a dedicated group of parents in South Phoenix. Motivated by the frustration caused by the limited opportunities available to youth in South Phoenix, our organization emerged with the aim of addressing this disparity. We recognized the challenges faced by our youth in competing at higher levels of athletic and academic competition compared to their counterparts in other communities. With a deep commitment to equitable access and growth, South Phoenix Lights was established to bridge the gap and provide the necessary resources for our youth to thrive, succeed, and compete at the highest levels.
