John A Valenzuela Youth Center

The John A Valenzuela Youth Center, located in South Tucson, has been providing a safe and nurturing environment for at-risk youth aged 5-18 for over 20 years. With a focus on academic and social success, the center offers a range of activities that promote educational goal setting, resilience, and positive lifestyle skills.

Recognizing the challenges faced by the families it serves, the center operates year-round, out-of-school programs during high-crime hours, aiming to create a safe space with caring adults. Through its comprehensive approach, the center addresses risk factors such as school failure, truancy, juvenile delinquency, and early substance abuse, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that youth are safe from violence, high-risk behaviors, and criminal activity, and that they graduate from high school.
