Community participants are allowed to take workshops inside the prison, along with the inmates. The prison requires clearance requests be received and completely processed by them prior to workshops. We ask that requests are sent to us two months prior to the workshop (in order for us to review to make sure all information needed is present, and for the prison to process the clearance). Contact Diana Couch at 661-942-3025 or by email at AVPAV@AOL.COM

The Lancaster Parole Office The parole orientation is presented every other Wednesday at 1:15pm. We participate with other community organizations that have ways of helping the parolees. We give a short 2 minute presentation on our program and then meet interested parolees during a half hour session that follows. We are usually finished by 3:15pm. Call Diana 661-942-3025 if you can help.
