Refer a Child:

Know a young person who could benefit from Project Avary? We welcome referrals from anyone who supports youth, whether you're a teacher, social worker, mentor, parent or caregiver. If you know a child with an incarcerated parent, we’d love to connect.

 
 

Bring Project Avary to Your Community:

Our team is available to present at schools, institutions, conferences, and community events. We offer engaging talks and trainings that shed light on the unique experiences of children with incarcerated parents, advocate for more inclusive support systems, and share how to connect youth to our programs. Whether you're looking to educate staff, inspire action, or build referral pathways, we’re here to be a resource and a voice for this often-overlooked population.

 
 

Come to an Event:

Throughout the year, we host events across the Bay Area to help us raise critical funds to support our organization. These events are a lot of fun (seriously!), and we would love to have you.
