Project Avary

About Us Project Avary improves life outcomes for children with parents in prison. Children with incarcerated parents are highly at-risk youth who, through no fault of their own, face daunting life challenges. Long-term guidance and training helps children develop emotional, social, and life skills that are essential for growing into healthy young adults. History of the Organization Founded in 1999 Project Avary was one of the first nonprofit organizations in the nation dedicated to improving life outcomes among children with parents in prison. During its brief history, over 400 Bay Area children have participated in a long-term, continuum of support that includes enrichment, outdoor education, and psycho-social support for children, leadership and life skills training for teens, and valuable support for caregivers.
