from our founder
My name is Anthony Smith and I am passionate about spreading POSITIVITY throughout the community! I am a High School basketball coach, a Special Needs Paraprofessional and a Mentor to youth with various backgrounds. I started Positive Pro in 2020 as a means to facilitate positive change in student’s lives by providing emotional, behavioral and academic support to families and schools in need. Positive Pro started with individual home visits to families in need and then soon transpired to school visits. Today, Positive Pro has partnered with 3 schools in the greater Tucson Area and is able to provide free basketball camps as a positive alternative for youths in Tucson, AZ. At Positive Pro, we are committed to utilize the power of peer mentoring combined with effective and clear communication to build long lasting positive relationships.
