SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTS
This year we will introduce you to Project Avary, another terrific locally based organization.
Project Avary improves life outcomes for children with parents in prison. By surrounding them early with a community of peers and caring adults and through long-term guidance and training, children develop the emotional, social, and life skills that are essential for growing into healthy young adultsProject Avary programs include a sleep- away summer camp, day trips on weekends throughout the school year, a teen leadership program, and gatherings for families. Each program engages children and teens in age appropriate activities that foster environmental awareness, social and emotional skills, independent living skills, and leadership skills.
