Project True is a restorative force dedicated to dismantling systemic violence against youth through advocacy, education, and empowerment. A transformation from YAVO, the Youth Against Violence Organization, Project True introduces a dual-track program model for school-aged children (k-5) and teens (6-12), PT reimagines youth programming for underpriviledged children of all backgrounds by building spaces rooted in truth, creativity, and equity.

Meet Jamar Jordan, a Project True success story. From age 4, Project True (formerly YAVO) nurtured his gifts. Discovered to have perfect timing and memory, Jamar excelled in performing arts, playing a role in Ragtime at the Coronado Theater at just 4 years old. Overcoming early challenges, Jamar thrives as a trombonist, band leader, and summer camp leader, defying limitations through Project True's support.

Project True offers diverse activities: Grades K-5 enjoy hands-on, sensory-rich experiences, literacy, STEM, and play-based learning. Teens in grades 6-12 engage in identity and leadership development, music, digital storytelling, entrepreneurship, and safe spaces for debate. Both groups benefit from Health & Nutrition classes, physical recreation, and theater.
