Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP)

Invest in Arizona’s Youth – Build Stronger Futures

At Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP), we believe every young person deserves a strong foundation to thrive. Since 1990, we have been partnering with communities across Arizona to provide life-changing programs that support youth and families. Through education, prevention, and direct services, we tackle challenges like substance use, homelessness, human trafficking, mental health wellness, teen pregnancy, and family instability.

Where We Started & Where We Are Now

AZYP began as a grassroots effort in rural Pima County, bringing much-needed resources to underserved communities in Ajo, Marana, and Sahuarita. What started as Pima Youth Partnership has grown into Arizona Youth Partnership, expanding across 13 counties and 26 school districts statewide to serve thousands of youth and families every year.

Empowering Youth for a Brighter Future

We equip youth with the knowledge, skills, and support to make positive choices and reach their full potential. Our programs focus on healthy relationships, leadership development, substance use prevention, and academic success.

📌 Programs include:
✔️ Healthy Relationship & Sexual Risk Avoidance Education
✔️ Dating Violence Prevention & Advocacy
✔️ WakeUp! – a diversion program for youth
✔️ Harbor House & Providence Place– transitional living programs for homeless youth
✔️ Academic enrichment & leadership activities
✔️ Stronger Families Project – helps parents and youth (ages 10-14) build stronger bonds
✔️ Working alongside local coalitions - creating safer, healthier environments for youth by preventing underage drinking, substance abuse, and other risk factors.

💬 "Thank you for teaching me more than leadership. I learned how to communicate, take care of my mental health, and build healthy relationships. Please keep doing this—so many other teens need this too." – 12-year-old participant
