Springerville/Eagar - Round Valley Community

At an elevation of 7,000 feet, nestled at the base of the White Mountains in northeastern Arizona, the Towns of Eagar and Springerville, serve as a central point to the region's recreational opportunities. Both communities reside in the area called “Round Valley”. With over 2 million acres in the adjoining Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, numerous lakes and miles of pristine trout streams, tourists from Arizona and New Mexico flock to Round Valley each year. Combined with winter skiing, sledding, and sight-seeing, it’s no wonder it has become a popular tourist destination.

Pima YOUTH Partnership (PYP) was incorporated in 1990 by a group of concerned citizens that wanted to connect rural communities with the same programs, services, and activities available to youth and families living in the metropolitan Tucson area.

As a prevention agency, PYP works with youth and families in rural and Native American communities to reach its mission, "In partnership with communities, develop resources to promote the positive growth of their children." Since 1990, PYP has grown from its original three (3) communities of Ajo, rural Marana, and Sahuarita, to include Catalina, Flowing Wells, New Pascua Yaqui Reservation, and the Tohono O'odham Nation.
