Pima Youth Partnership's Meeting of the Minds countywide coalitions meeting.

PYP sponsors community coalitions that "reduce laws, norms, and policies favorable to substance abuse. Five (5) coalitions sent youth and adult members to highlight their work and learn how to evaluate the success of their program. Coalitions came from Ajo, Marana, Catalina, the Tohono O'odham Nation, and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. The work of the coalitions is funded by the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona and the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's Drug Free Communities.

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.
