Mission
The Advot Project creates possibility by using art-based curriculums to teach communication and relationship skills. Empowering participants to find their voice and use it.
Program accomplishments
- Listen, Act, Change Curriculum: Served over 950 young people of promise living in poverty and/or impacted by incarceration. Through interactive workshops focused on healthy relationships, communication skills, and creative self-expression in theater and visual arts, we reached youth across schools, after-school programs, group homes, and juvenile detention facilities throughout Los Angeles County.Advots full-year arts enrichment program at New Village Girls Academy provided students with rotating learning opportunities in knitting, filmmaking, poetry, and leadership development. Through these rotations, participants developed creative skills, self-expression, collaboration, and confidence. Each rotation included hands-on projects and culminates in student showcases, highlighting both artistic growth and leadership development.The Fanny Possibility Fund: Provided college scholarships and ongoing mentoring to alumni of our Relationships 101 program, supporting their continued growth and educational success.Re-Imagine Reentry Program: Offered mentorship, guidance, and access to resources for youth transitioning out of LA County probation lockup facilities, helping them reenter their communities with confidence and purpose.First Annual Impact Report:Advot worked with consultants to revise and strengthen our evaluation methods and to develop new measurement and learning tools, which will be implemented in the 20252026 program year. We also produced our first Annual Impact Report to capture and communicate the outcomes of our work.Team Culture Consultation:Advot worked with a team culture consultant to strengthen organizational practices around diversity, equity, and inclusion. The work focused on culture management, internal communication, and increasing awareness of the racial and cultural identities of the students we serve.Curricular Materials/systems consultation:Advot worked with a consultant to streamline curricular materials and internal systems to improve program consistency and efficiency.Outreach and Expansion:Our team of facilitators expanded to 10 this year and we significantly expanded its outreach by launching the LAC program at five new locations. Successful partnerships resulted in program initiation at the Pomona Tech Center, Boyle Heights Tech Center, North Park High School, and Roosevelt High School. The program was also established at A Place Called Home Community Center, solidifying deeper community engagement and increased access to resources.Conferences:Our Managing Director attended the Rockwood Leadership Institute, bringing new leadership strategies and practices back to the team.The organization strategically invested in professional development to enhance program quality and expand its expertise in youth support. The Program Manager attended the National Mentoring Conference, enabling the integration of evidence-based best practices and the adoption of national standards for mentor training and relationship support into the LAC program. Furthermore, staff attended the Transformation of Youth Justice Symposium, which provided actionable insights on innovative program delivery methods, effective community collaboration models, and current legislative trends in youth-centered system reform.Expenses $862,827
