About North Star Youth Partnership

Our Mission

North Star Youth Partnership helps youth choose healthy lifestyle behaviors that prevent violence, gang activity, substance use, and teen pregnancy through an array of youth leadership programs that build self-confidence and equip them with a “toolkit” of life skills.

Our youth leadership programs build leadership skills and truly engage youth in their communities. Participants develop self confidence and begin to see themselves as integral agents of change.

More than 50,000 Northern Arizona youth have participated in North Star’s award-winning programs since its inception in 1997.
