Pima Prevention Partnership (PPP) is a nationally-recognized, award-winning non-profit agency serving youths, families, institutions, and community groups since 1992. PPP is based in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona with a branch office in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

PPP specializes in serving the underserved. Either directly, with its charter schools, treatment, and family services programs in Tucson and Phoenix or indirectly through writing grants or providing evaluation services for other institutions and non-profits that serve similar target groups across the Nation and in the Pacific Jurisdictions.

PPP provides practical solutions to address social problems on the individual and community level. Drawing from a host of evidence-based practices, PPP serves its many youth and adult constituents with programs that generate significant outcomes. For example, 2012 research on 11 other programs serving similar target groups in the Southwest puts PPP out front when it comes to reducing youth drug use and crime over time. Similarly, its 24-hour Family Strengthening workshops received a national Science and Service award for helping families bond and get along.

This website will give you information about our charter schools: The Pima Partnership High School, the Pima Partnership Academy in Tucson, and the Arizona Collegiate High School in Phoenix. You can also learn about our crime reduction programs like Teen Court or about STARS which is our statewide Children of Prisoners Mentoring program.

Our program development services for non-profits and governmental institutions include research, evaluation and training services, as well as grant writing. These services are very affordable and provided at no cost.

We welcome visitors. Anyone interested in starting services for high-risk youths and families is invited to learn about what we do first hand. Feel free to contact us if we can be of service to you.

Since 2004 the Partnership has provided grant writing, program evaluation, and training services to the Territory of American Samoa. The Partnership is currently supporting the Territory’s successful implementation of initiatives through the American Samoa Department of Human & Social Services (DHSS), including evaluation and technical assistance services to Prevention Fa’a Samoa, a U.S. Center for Substance Abuse Prevention-funded Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) ; O le Li'o o le Alofa (Circle of Love), a U.S. Administration for Children and Families Healthy Marriage initiative; and a Drug-Free Communities Support Program initiative being implemented by a local substance abuse prevention community coalition.
