Gary Ivory starts his new job this month as president of Youth Advocate Programs (YAP) Inc., a national nonprofit based in Harrisburg that gives communities alternatives to incarcerating and placing young people in residential treatment facilities.
The new role is a promotion that comes 30 years after the former prison chaplain and son of East Texas farmers joined YAP as a frontline youth Advocate, a press release said. Ivory’s passion for social justice is rooted in Pittsburg, Texas, where as a child he lost three of his 14 siblings to prison.
