Project READY
Relationship Education & Development for Youth
💬 What Is Project READY? (Relationship Education & Development for Youth)​​
It’s a program from Arizona Youth Partnership that helps high school students (grades 9–12) learn how to build strong, healthy relationships. The program is offered in five Arizona counties: Gila, Navajo, Mohave, Pinal, and Pima, with a focus on rural communities.
🧠What You’ll Learn
Project READY uses two proven programs:
-
Active Relationships for Young Adults (ARYA) – a 14-session course that teaches relationship skills, communication, and the benefits of healthy choices.
-
Money Habitudes – a fun and interactive way to learn about money habits and financial planning.
How It Works
AZYP supports students in several ways:
-
​Peer Groups: Students join groups to talk about relationships and support each other. Stay tuned for more information on these groups — including locations, times and dates, and how to sign up!
-
School Staff Involvement: Teachers and staff model healthy relationship skills.
-
Advertising Campaigns: Public messages help spread awareness about healthy relationships.
Extra Support
Students also get access to:
-
Career and job education
-
Financial literacy training
-
Case management for personal support
-
Partnership to the Arizona Youth Healthy Relationship Toolkit. It will include tips on parenting, money management, and planning for the future. This will be especially helpful for pregnant and parenting teens.
-
Youth peer groups will help create the toolkit, and a free downloadable version will be available right here on this webpage.
Stay tuned!
