NYAA has always been committed
to reaching out to the less fortunate
in society and the under-served. The
key to this is to provide help and
ensure support is accessible to all.

who were and are serving time
in prison. The aim is to help them
remain connected with the outside
world and be motivated to return
to society recharged and renewed
hope.
