Celebrating our 30th Year as the Helping Hands of Glendale, AZ
The Glendale Ambassadors are an organization of residents with a deep sense of pride in their community, and a mission to enhance the economic, social, and cultural vitality of Glendale. The Ambassadors have been in existence since 1994. They were founded by former Glendale Mayor, Elaine Scruggs, whose vision was to create an all-volunteer citizens group to help bring awareness to the City of Glendale.
