We exist to empower and amplify the voices of the marginalized so that we may change the narrative and become a more just, equitable, and inclusive community.
HOW WE DO IT:
- BRAVE Communities offers a virtual training program for emerging young women leaders, called “BRAVE-Makers (summer) and BRAVE Ambassadors” (academic-year 2020/21).
- This program will equip female-identifying young people based in the USA, ages 14-18 (inclusive) year-old, to be leaders and activators for social justice, racial equity, and civic engagement.
- Ambassadors will be equipped with leadership and personal development skills and have the opportunities for hands-on experiences to launch a successful social impact project.
-Our workshops will explore the question: “How can you make a BRAVE difference in your community?”
OUR PURPOSE:
- To engage more people, particularly the next generation, so that they may understand, learn, grow, and take action on social issues, on a local and global level.
- To build intercultural and intergenerational relationships between businesses, non-profits and community groups, so we may collectively create change in our city.
- To equip young people with better interpersonal and professional skills. Through advocacy and events planning, BRAVE-makers will gain competencies ranging from: project and time management, financial literacy/budgeting, supplier/vendor relations, negotiation, marketing, branding, PR/promotions, strategic & analytical thinking, cross-cultural, customer service, and teambuilding.
