Mission Statement:
In partnership with communities, develop resources to promote the positive growth of their children.
Arizona Youth Partnership is a youth prevention non-profit agency based in Tucson, Arizona providing programming and services to rural communities in the state. Since 1990, Arizona Youth Partnership has made great strides in reaching Arizona’s children, youth, and families in 29 rural communities in 9 counties.
Arizona Youth Partnership endeavored to keep youth in school, keep youth off of drugs and alcohol, reduce pregnancies, teen births, sexually transmitted diseases, and create safe, drug-free communities, and healthy environments for children, youth, and families in rural communities and Native American Reservations in Arizona.
We are particularly proud that we bring scientifically proven successful programs designed to reduce alcohol, drug, tobacco, and early sexual activity to school aged youth and their families, and, we get the same kinds of positive results. Our programs have won national awards. Recently, we were selected by the Governor's Office and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration as one of two sites in southern Arizona to participate in the National Reach Out Now to 5th Graders Substance Abuse Prevention Week.
Also, we work with community coalitions and youth advisory councils in Ajo, Catalina, Marana, New Pascua Yaqui Reservation, and the Tohono O'odham Nation to reduce laws, norms, and policies favorable to substance use.
Our communities include: Ajo, Benson, Bullhead City, Catalina, Concho Valley, Eager, Globe, Hayden, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, Marana, Miami, Oracle, Pinetop, Rio Rico, Sahuarita, San Carlos Apache Nation, Sanders, Show Low, Snowflake, Springerville, St. Johns, Superior, Three Points, Tohono O'odham Nation, Tucson, Vernon, Willcox, and Williams. Working with youth and adults in these communities helps us reach our mission. |
