YOUTH EMPLOYMENT TRAINING & EDUCATION

Tucson Youth Development (TYD) provides education and employability services for youth and young adults in Pima County.  Through a network of business and inter-agency collaborations we serve as a pathway for young people to succeed in the workforce.  

Our Mission is to equip Pima County youth to gain employment, achieve self-sufficiency and reach career potential through education and training.  
This is accomplished through:

- Basic  and Alternative Education

- Development of Academic and Career Goals/Strategies
- Academic and Career Counseling
- Mentorship
- Case Management

Every year, in honor of TYD's founder Ms. Mary Melton, one exceptional TYD graduate is awarded with the "Mary Melton Scholarship" to assist them in continuing their education.. A Night Among Stars live auction raised the funds to award TWO scholarships this year!
