Youth On Their Own is a Tucson nonprofit that helps homeless youth graduate from high school. They moved into a new headquarters building in 2023. There's more about the building and YOTO on this website page: yoto.org/yoto-has-a-new-home/. That page lists their address as 2525 N. Country Club, but the mural in this post is just south of 2509 N. Country Club.
Our June 23, 2020 post Youth On Their Own shows murals on what I think is their first location, near the southeast corner of Pima and Alvernon. It's since closed; everything has moved to the new location.
Along the south wall of 2509 is a long mural painted by Hannah Long; her Instagram is @whereoceansmeethb. The building used to be for Southwest University of Visual Arts, which (the YOTO page says) closed in 2019. Google Maps Street View shows a different mural there in February 2022. I also found the mural in a photo during April 2023. So this mural was painted sometime since April 2023, and before I took photos of this mural on January 13, 2024.
The photos below show the whole mural from the east side, nearest Country Club Road. Next are closeups of the mural from east to west:
The back wall (the western edge) has paint around the plain grey blocks:
