Children from age 8.5 through their teen years can participate in summer camp in Mendocino, Adventure Day outings to natural and cultural sites in the Bay Area, leadership retreats, and a mentoring program. </p> <p>Project Avary was founded by former Grateful Dead manager Danny Rifkin, who was inspired by a conversation he had with San Quentin's chaplain Earl Smith. Project Avary aims to break the cycles of violence and incarceration by supporting children to appreciate their own gifts and to develop the skills to engage peacefully and constructively in community and in society.</p> <p>More info:<br /> <a href=http://www.projectavary.org target=_blank>http://www.projectavary.org/</a></p> http://www.dead.net/forum/project-avary#comments Dead-Related Charities Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:35:24 -0400 marye 10095 at http://www.dead.net http://www.dead.net/forum/rex-foundation <p>Now approaching the quarter-century mark, the Rex Foundation is the nonprofit the Dead founded in the '80s.
