AVARY News for Big People

As we head into fall, there is plenty of planning and preparing happening for many exciting activities including our November Day of the Dead celebration, a teen service project, and a special backpack trip for our 12 and 13 year-olds led by two of our adult graduates.

This month we are starting a new column in The Shout Out, our  monthly youth newsletter, called "My Life in College", featuring a younger camper's questions about college. 

With nine Avary graduates going to local junior colleges, private colleges, state schools, and the University of California, we are happy to help our younger kids start thinking about what college might look like for them.

Flexible Options for Giving

Did you know that you can set up small monthly donations to Avary through Network for Good's online giving program?

Choose any amount to be deducted from your credit card or debit card.
It's safe and secure, and a great way to spread out your contribution over time.

For more information, simply click the "Donate Now" button on the left of this page. You will be directed to AVARY's page on Network for Good where you can find out more about flexible options for giving.

Government employees can also contribute through CFC and CSECC!

Are you a federal employee planning on participating in the Combined Federal Campaign? We’d love your donation! Our CFC number is 75626.

If you're a state employee participating in California State Employees Charitable Campaign, our CSECC number is 2616.
