Economic Empowerment as Justice: APS Phoenix’s Commitment to Small Business Development

At APS Phoenix, we believe that economic development is a cornerstone of justice. When families and entrepreneurs thrive, communities grow stronger, more resilient, and more equitable.

That’s why APS has partnered with A New Leaf to provide business counseling through the DreamBuilder Program, which equips aspiring entrepreneurs—particularly women and immigrants—with the tools to turn their business ideas into reality.

APS also actively promotes valuable programs from SCORE and the City of Phoenix, connecting small business owners to expert advice, mentorship, and critical startup resources.

As a long-standing pillar in our community, APS has launched the Commonwealth Seal™, a collaborative network of business owners designed to facilitate cross-border trade and mutual support among members. This innovative model champions the idea that economic progress must be accessible and rooted in shared prosperity.
