Our Organization
Live & Learn is a non profit organization for women that was founded in 2012 to empower women in the Phoenix-metro area. It began as an initiative of the Arizona Foundation for Women and became an independent organization in 2015. Live & Learn continues to grow every year to meet the financial education needs and career training for women in our community.
Our Goal
Our goal is to empower each of our clients to create a better life and a better future for herself.
…It’s not just the financial help Live and Learn gives you, it’s the support. When I wanted to give up, when I thought I couldn’t do it anymore, they still believed in me.

What Live and Learn Does
Participants who are ready to take the next step towards women’s education empowerment, financial independence and career guidance are referred to our program by our community partners.
