Pima County Youth One-Stop Service Center moving to new location
PIMA COUNTY, Feb. 14, 2025 – The Pima County Youth One-Stop Service Center is relocating to a more convenient location at 175 W. Irvington Road starting March 3.
Currently located west of Interstate 10 at 320 N. Commerce Park Loop, the center will continue offering the same employment services for young people ages 16 to 24. The new site is across from the Laos Transit Center, making it more accessible for bus riders and within a vibrant community hub.
“When we knew we were moving from our current location, I thought of the number of people we serve on that side of town and how much is going on in that area,” said Daphanie Conner, the youth program manager for the Community & Workforce Development Department. “That’s why I thought it was an awesome opportunity.”
The current location will close Feb. 20. Some services will be disrupted from Feb. 20 to March 3 during the move, although case managers will be available via phone (520-724-9649) and email.
The building at 175 W. Irvington was recently used as a location for the County’s Pima Vocational High School and is surrounded by key learning and community resources, including Pima County’s Frank De La Cruz-El Pueblo Library, the County’s South Office Clinic at Walter Rogers (WIC services), the City of Tucson’s El Pueblo Activity Center and multiple charter schools.
The Youth One-Stop provides a variety of employment services and resources, including assistance with:
- Paying for school or certificates
- High school enrollment and GEDs
- Resume building
- One-on-one career support
- Paid work experience
- Internships
-
Job search support
Conner said the new location will allow the One-Stop to transition from virtual to more in-person youth workshops, such as Employability Skills, Financial Literacy, Leadership Development and more.
“We’re going to bring those more in-house, so people can come in and get services as they need them,” Conner said.
The Youth One-Stop Service Center will open applications to its longstanding and popular Summer Youth Employment Program on March 3. Youth ages 14 to 21 can apply for paid internships ($15.75 per hour) in various fields throughout Pima County. The internship program will run from June 2 to June 27.
