A proposal for schools · Chandler & East Valley

Paid, supervised, safety-first work for your students.

I'm Bryan Leonard, owner of Ah Crap Cleanup Co. here in Chandler. I'd like to partner with local schools to give students real, paid, hands-on work experience — the kind that builds responsibility and shows up on a résumé. This page is a starting point for that conversation. I'm not asking to run anything on your campus; I'm asking to build something with you, on your terms, with student safety first.

Why it could help your students

Real experience, close to home

💵

Actually paid

Students in a school-partnered role would be W-2 employees paid hourly at or above Arizona minimum wage (currently $15.15/hr in 2026) — not unpaid "exposure."

📋

Development records

We can share attendance, skills demonstrated, and supervisor feedback back to the school to support work-based-learning credit and student portfolios.

🛡️

Safety-first by design

Adult supervision, training before any task, heat protocols, PPE, and no driving or hazardous work for minors — built to Arizona youth-employment rules.

🌱

Soft skills that stick

Punctuality, following instructions, customer respect, and finishing a job — the employability skills counselors already care about, in a real setting.

Our commitments to you

What we would promise, in writing

A partnership only works if the guardrails are clear. Here's what we hold ourselves to before a single student works a shift.

How a partnership would start

Slow, careful, and on your terms

1

A conversation

We talk through your goals, your students, and any concerns. No commitment.

2

Review & approval

Your school reviews the safety plan, agreement, and insurance. Nothing launches until you formally approve.

3

Small pilot

Start with a handful of students and a tight scope so everyone can see how it works in practice.

4

Review & grow

We review outcomes together and only expand if it's genuinely working for your students.

To be completely clear: The Ah Crap Community Crew school program is in development. It is not currently operating at any school, and nothing on this site should be read as an endorsement, sponsorship, or approval by any school, district, or public agency. We will describe a school as a partner only after that school has formally approved the program in writing. Any employment classification, pay, and student-safety details will be finalized with appropriate professional and legal review before any student works.

Thank you, friend.

I got your note and I'll follow up personally at your number or by email. There's no obligation — I'd just love to talk about what a safe, paid program could look like for your students.

In the meantime, here's the student-facing overview →

The fine print, honestly: The Ah Crap Community Crew school program is a proposed program of Ah Crap Cleanup Co. (owner: Bryan Leonard, Chandler, AZ). It is in development and is not currently operating at, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by any school, district, or public agency. We will identify a school as a partner only after that school has formally approved the program in writing. Any student participation would be as a W-2 employee, would follow Arizona and federal youth-employment law, would require parent/guardian consent, and would pay at or above the applicable minimum wage. Employment classification, insurance, supervision, and safety details will be finalized with appropriate professional and legal review before any student works. Submitting this form is an inquiry only — it is not an agreement, offer, or commitment of any kind.
