Welcome to the
Miss Juneteenth Arizona
Scholarship Program
The South Chandler Self-Help Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 corporation, and the City of Chandler celebrate Juneteenth each year with the annual Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Program.
The Program consists of a series of contestant workshops and community service activities, the Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Pageant at the Chandler Center of the Arts, and all post-pageant appearances. The contestant workshops include Juneteenth History, a focus on career opportunities, budgeting, future financial planning, and knowledge of current events, just to name a few of the topics.
These programs are designed to provide an opportunity for young women to enhance the understanding of their heritage and further develop the building of their self-esteem, expression, and passion for life.
You can support the Miss Juneteenth Arizona Scholarship Program by becoming a contestant or providing financial support through sponsorship or donation. All funds are used to support all phases of the program, from recruiting contestants through post-pageant activities.
We counsel. We lead. We teach.
What We Do.
THE FOUNDATION INVESTS TIME IN OTHERS.
The goal is to encourage self-reliance and spirituality while the family or individual is setting goals for success.
Our History
South Chandler Self Help Foundation (SCSHF) was founded in 1996 as the development arm of Mt Olive MBC Outreach Ministry. Upon inception, SCSHF took control of a problematic area on S. Colorado St. in the heart of what was then referred to as South Chandler. The immediate area was ridden with drug use, crime, and prostitution when SCSHF set forth plans to rehabilitate 472 S. Colorado St.
The end result was a reconstructed home made office and home for South Chandler Self-Help, Inc., which provided much-needed office space for the SCSHF,Inc. The area has steadily improved, and today the neighborhood breathes new life and is now promoting positive activity for everyone.
The rehab project on Colorado Street is a token example of community transformation realized through the efforts of concerned citizens organized to make a positive change within the community.
Our Mission
The South Chandler Self Help Foundation as a 501(c)(3)
non-profit corporation, our mission is to foster community development
and create and preserve affordable
and diverse housing opportunities in Chandler through education,
training, advocacy and development.
