Guardian El Dorado Hills: Empowering Youth Across El Dorado County

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe in the power of martial arts to transform lives. One of the ways we put this belief into action is through the Guardian El Dorado Hills project, a scholarship program designed to provide financial assistance to young students across El Dorado County, enabling them to train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu regardless of their financial situation.

What is Guardian El Dorado Hills?

Guardian El Dorado Hills is our commitment to making Jiu Jitsu accessible to local youth who may not have the resources to train. Through this initiative, we offer scholarships that cover the cost of classes, equipment, and in the future competition fees, ensuring that students can fully immerse themselves in their training without financial barriers.

The project is more than just about learning martial arts—it’s about building confidence, discipline, and character. For many of our young students, Jiu Jitsu becomes a safe haven where they can grow both mentally and physically, learning valuable life skills like respect, perseverance, and teamwork.

Serving the Greater El Dorado County

Guardian El Dorado Hills doesn’t just serve El Dorado Hills—it extends its reach to families across the greater county. We are proud to welcome students from a variety of cities including:

Placerville

Cameron Park

Shingle Springs

Rescue

Pollock Pines

Diamond Springs

Georgetown

Cool

These communities represent a diverse cross-section of El Dorado County, and we are committed to ensuring that youth from all these areas have access to the benefits of Jiu Jitsu. Every city in our county has its own unique challenges, but through the Guardian program, we provide an outlet where students from every background can come together, train, and support one another.

The Impact of Guardian Scholarships

The impact of Guardian El Dorado Hills can be seen in the lives of the students we support. Many of our scholarship recipients have found purpose and direction through their training, excelling not only on the mats but also in school and at home. By fostering a sense of community and providing mentorship, we aim to guide these students toward becoming leaders in their own lives and within their communities.

We’re especially proud of the way this program has allowed us to connect with families from different cities throughout the county, creating bonds that extend far beyond our gym. The values we teach—discipline, respect, and integrity—are lessons that our students take with them into every aspect of their lives, shaping them into well-rounded individuals.

How You Can Help

Guardian El Dorado Hills is fueled by the generosity of our community. We host events such as our in-house competitions like “Ruckus in the Hills” to raise funds for the program. Every donation, sponsorship, and participation in these events goes directly toward supporting our youth scholarships, helping us continue to serve students across the county.

By supporting Guardian El Dorado Hills, you are not only investing in the future of our students, but you are also strengthening the fabric of our community, one student at a time.
