It is a joint-collaboration between Tohono O’odham Community College (TOCC) and the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC) at the University of Arizona.

ASJ has set out to increase the number of Native Americans attaining a bachelor’s degree on the Tohono O’odham Nation (Nation; TON) in order to fill the professional jobs within the tribe. The program has also worked to increase the number of transfer students from TOCC by developing a sense of belonging at four-year universities and increasing academic and professional capacity building. ASJ is a year-round program with academic, professional development, and work experience experiences which the participants share with students at TOCC.
