The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $1.77 million Cooperative Agreement to Arizona Youth Partnership on September 30, 2025, under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086) to deliver Project READY (Relationship Education & Development for Youth), a five-year healthy relationship education initiative serving high school students in rural Arizona.

Arizona Youth Partnership will serve 2,000 high school youth in grades 9–12 across five rural Arizona counties (Gila, Navajo, Mohave, Pinal, and Pima) through ten schools, reaching approximately 400 youth annually. The project implements the evidence-based Active Relationships for Young Adults (ARYA) curriculum using three delivery strategies: curriculum-based workshops in high schools, a school system-level approach engaging staff and peer groups, and public advertising campaigns featuring the Arizona Youth Healthy Relationship Toolkit. Participants develop healthy relationship skills applicable to present and future relationships, gain financial literacy through the Money Habitudes curriculum, and receive career advancement support to facilitate successful transitions to adulthood.

Performance occurs in Tucson, Arizona, with a period of performance through September 29, 2030. The Healthy Marriage Promotion program funds organizations providing skills-based healthy marriage education integrated with services addressing relationship skills and job and career advancement opportunities to strengthen families.
