Youth Development

North Star Youth Partnership

North Star Youth Partnership engages youth ages 11-18 through educational, recreational, leadership and service-learning opportunities.
What started in 1997 as an educational program to prevent adolescent pregnancy in Yavapai County
has expanded to 11 different programs serving youth in Central and Northern Arizona.

Sometimes the best ideas to support youth come directly from teens themselves. Such is the case for Homework Help, a free kindergarten through eighth-grade tutoring program conceived and led by North Star Youth Partnership’s Peer Assistance & Leadership (PAL) program at Prescott High School.

When parents think of back to school, they often think of report cards, parent-teacher conferences and other academic aspects of school. They may not realize that the social aspects, like making friends and joining clubs, are just as important to their child’s development.
