Arizona Youth Partnerships

 

Life Skills Education/ Teen Night/ After School Programs/ Family Fun Nights

 

Pima YOUTH Partnership (PYP) was founded in 1990 by a group of concerned citizens who saw that youth and families living in rural areas of Pima County did not have access to the same services, programs, and activities that youth and families had access to in Tucson. Starting in the three rural communities — Ajo, Marana, and Sahuarita — PYP began our mission: In partnership with communities, develop resources for the positive growth of their children.
