ABOUT
BRAVE- Building Resilience Awareness & Variations of Excellence is an innovative youth development social justice agency that works with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) scholars and their families.
The inception of BRAVE was meticulously crafted to be a sanctuary for Black and Brown youth to truly be free to explore their creativity and greatness that is so often suppressed due to navigating systems of oppression.
We promote and encourage our communities to pull strength, knowledge, and wisdom from our ancestors and use their resilience and tenacity as an example of how to be a person of color in America and live a healthy, fulfilled, thriving life.
OUR MISSION
We collaborate with youth of color in their learning and development journey—providing experiences and resources for critical thinking, exploring voice, deepening brilliance, and contributing to the health and renewal of their environments, communities, and reshaping systems.
OUR VISION
We envision youth of color developing courageous and vibrant lives of purpose—leading and contributing to the strength and thriving of communities and environments.
