The Arizona Cheetahs Youth Program was established in 1989 to mentor, teach and train youth. The program assists 200-300 youth ages 6-18 each year. It was developed to provide a positive environment and an alternative to the negative fac- tors facing today’s youth by Norine Richardson, a retired judge for the City of Mesa. This vision came to her while working as a prosecutor and seeing the youth come through the system.
