Invest in the Next Generation of Leaders

The Academy is AVPRIDE’s youth leadership experience for students who are ready to grow, serve, connect, and make a real difference in their communities.

Throughout the year, students participate in leadership development, community service, prevention and wellness projects, college and career exposure, guest speakers, field experiences, and opportunities to use their voices in meaningful community work.

Your support helps us provide the resources and experiences that make this possible, including:

Leadership workshops and student development activities
Community service and youth-led projects
College and career exploration
Transportation and field experiences
Program materials, meals, and supplies
Financial assistance for students and families
Recognition opportunities that celebrate student growth and service

You can support The Academy in the way that works best for you.

Make a one-time gift, sponsor a student, or become a recurring donor through The Academy Champions Circle.

A recurring gift of any amount helps provide steady support throughout the program year, while a $100 gift can help remove the annual membership cost as a barrier for a student who needs assistance.

Every contribution helps create more opportunities for young people to build confidence, strengthen their leadership skills, explore their future, serve their communities, and recognize the power of their own voice.

Help us build the next generation of leaders.

The Academy: Built for leaders. Designed for impact.
