For nearly 25 years, AVPRIDE has led the Fayette and Coweta communities in youth development and leadership training.
From kindergarten to high school and college and beyond, AVPRIDE has shepherded our young people to become strong self-advocates who make good decisions that will serve them well now and in the future.
Starting in elementary school, the K-8 Enrichment Program helps students gain vital educational and study skills and begins the process of social and cultural awareness that will help them become productive citizens locally and globally. The middle school years are known as the “bridges” group in which self-awareness and self-confidence is gained through thoughtful and strategic decision making with a focus on the necessary skills for the teen and high school years.
Our South Atlanta Youth Alliance Program works with high school students to develop their advocacy and leadership skills which is balanced with community engagement and servant leadership. Our goal is to help develop the whole person who leads a rich, developed life and gives back to the community in meaningful ways.
We also recognize that children and teens cannot successfully progress in the absence of strong families and role models. For this reason, AVPRIDE has been awarded federal and state alcohol and substance abuse grants for a decade to positively impact youth and adults in need.
Strong families and communities create resilient and thriving young people.
Testimonials from the AVPRIDE Family and Community Supporters
The following stories are just a few of the hundreds of ways, small and large, that AVPRIDE has contributed to the quality of life for our youth. We invite you to help us fortify our children, families, and communities by supporting AVPRIDE. It truly takes a village to raise a child.
"We are proud to partner with AVPRIDE for the benefit of our young people."
"This is my first time being on a board. The experience could not have been better. Not only have I learned professional skills that will serve me well in the future, I get to positively impact youth in our community. I could not have chosen a better organization to support."
"When the children in your community need help, you pick up the phone! What began as a mission to bring equity to the underserved continues."
"As a young male I was eager to learn leadership skills while in high school. The FYLP program was just what I needed. I am so grateful for this opportunity that, for the last three years, I have made my AVPRIDE my monthly United Way campaign contribution."
"Several years ago I had to flee an abusive home with my three teenagers. My boys, in particular, needed the stability and leadership skills they achieved through the AVPRIDE youth program. And, my daughter won an AVPRIDE scholarship. Words cannot begin to describe the value my children and family gained."
"We would not be able to send my children to after school enrichment without AVPRIDE. They offer - not an after school program - but an enrichment program that is less than 50% of the cost of lesser programs. Our kids would be hanging out at the neighbor's house without AVPRIDE."
