About the founder
Avery founded Access4All Youth with the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy concerts, performances, and other live experiences without barriers. Inspired by her uncle, who sustained a traumatic brain injury and later faced significant sensory challenges that made entertainment environments difficult to navigate, Avery witnessed firsthand how easily meaningful experiences can become inaccessible. As she learned more about brain injuries and sensory processing challenges, she realized that countless individuals and families face similar obstacles every day. Combining her passion for music, live entertainment, and community impact, Avery created Access4All Youth to promote accessibility, raise awareness, and empower young people to help make entertainment and community spaces more welcoming and inclusive for everyone.
Inclusion shouldn't be an upgrade.
Sensory accommodations are often treated as a premium add-on: a quiet room tucked away, a kit you have to know to ask for, an afterthought. We think being able to enjoy a show shouldn't depend on luck, budget, or knowing the right person at the door.
We're building the thing we wish existed.
Every founder and volunteer at Access4All Youth is a young person. Many of us have siblings, friends, or our own experiences with sensory sensitivity. We're not guessing at what helps. We're building it from the inside.
Three things we do, every season.
Fundraising
We run online campaigns, in-person events, and partnerships to fund kit materials and venue programs year-round.
Event support
We work directly with venues and event organizers to set up quiet spaces, train staff, and make sensory accommodations part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Kit distribution
We assemble and hand out sensory inclusive kits at events and through community partners, free of charge, to anyone who needs one.
Want to help build this?
Whether it's an hour at a kit-packing night or showing up event day, every bit of help moves us closer to our next venue partnership.
