Strider Squads

Whether you lead or join, there’s a place for you!

Strider Squads at AZVA are all about community. Whether you’re ready to take charge as a Squad Leader or prefer to simply support your student’s journey, there’s a place for you.

Thanks for your interest! As a Strider Squad Leader, you’ll lead a small group of students, helping them grow, connect, and thrive through fun, meaningful events.
