Pima For Youth
Parents, grandparents, and neighbors of our community see evidence of positive youth development from children participating in out of school time programs. For the last 20 years, we have been offering classes that change and challenge youth from ages 9 – young adult. Students develop confidence, competence, character, connection, and a responsibility to each other while they are learning a new skill or exploring a future career.
Enrolling your child in one of our youth classes introduces them to higher education, the classroom, and the latest technology. The majority of students that enrolled for the first time as a child in a Pima for Youth class will, at some time in their life, return to Pima Community College for future education.

Research indicates that young people who are surrounded by positive educational encounters show evidence of higher rates of successful transition into adulthood.
