What is BRAVE? BRAVE is a 1-day catalytic event to remind girls they are valuable and worth being celebrated while encouraging them to dream big for what their futures can be.
Who is BRAVE for? BRAVE is for girls ages 12-18 in vulnerable / at risk / situations like: foster care, homelessness and youth probation. While we are focused on empowering vulnerable girls, we believe in uplifting ALL girls – everyone is invited! A special respite room is prepared for parents, guardians and caretakers – with food, pampering and resources.
What will happen at BRAVE? The BRAVE events will include things like: great music, encouraging speakers, confidence building activities, optional arts and crafts, resource booths, optional personal pampering, dancing, drumming, dinner, snacks, meeting others and more. Girls can expect to leave feeling brave and empowered with a BRAVE t-shirt, BRAVE tote, BRAVE journal, and gift bag.
Tickets are free for girls ages 12 -18. Secure your spot by registering today. A Respite Room for caregivers is also free and available to those who register.
