They work under the motto “we dare to care” and have confirmed it over and over through the years, in some cases with their lives. Nowadays, the Guardian Angels have chapters in 13 countries and over one hundred cities. While the original hometown group of 13 has increased to thousands across the world, the mission has not changed: to make a positive change in society by engaging members of their communities to step forward and take an active role.
