About La Frontera Center – Thornydale Ranch – Tucson
La Frontera Center – Thornydale Ranch in Tucson, Arizona is a center dedicated to helping the economically disadvantaged and culturally diverse. It was founded back in 1968 and started with a staff of only five people in a small storefront. Originally they focussed on the area of Tucson with the highest unemployment rate, lowest education level, highest arrest rate, most welfare recipients and highest number of families living within crowded conditions per capita. Now they have over 500 employees and are in the top 10% as far as the size of nonprofit behavioral health treatment centers goes.
