Students, teachers, staff, administrators in public, private, charter, and non-profit learning environments
This work is relevant and timely in schools.
Our goal is to offer an experience that helps people learn, practice, and execute new skills that expand their comfort zones.
In K-12 learning environments, this work is especially potent because it gives participants space to center their emotions and build their character through action-driven repetition that provides an all-terrain skill set to last them a lifetime.
For students
Provide an immersive and experiential opportunity to deepen self-understanding and develop skills and tools helpful for life.
For teachers, admins
It’s a professional development opportunity that nourishes both the human and the educator, providing content for use in teaching and in teaching and guiding students.

Brave works with schools, networks, districts, and non-profit organizations to provide experiences that guide kids toward self-awareness and the big goals they want to bravely pursue.
Brave worked with the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland to bring an engaging Brave Session to 30 vibrant 3rd- and 4th-grade girls.
The TEAK Fellowship helps talented students from low-income families reach their potential through college and life preparatory programming and support. TEAK partners with Brave to deliver programming for rising 9th graders and rising college freshmen through both signature and modular activations.
Brave and BMHS have had a long-standing partnership since 2018. Each year, Brave delivers programming for the BMHS Sophomore Retreat.
The retreat takes place over two days—one for boys and one for girls—with each day including five hours of programming and activation.
Brave delivered the opening keynote to 400+ educators—superintendents, administrators, principals, and teachers—at the New Jersey Association of School Administrators (NJASA) annual Women’s Leadership Conference.
Brave is commissioned to train all first-year teachers in the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) through its teacher induction and professional development program. In our first year working with the district’s “THRIVE I” teachers, SCCPSS saw its highest teacher retention rate in the past decade.
EdWeb.net and Brave have partnered since 2017 to offer teachers free professional learning and support, including CE certificates for PD hours. Brave has delivered two webinars—downloaded by thousands of educators—(1) The Case for Fear: Teaching Kids to Play Outside of Their Comfort Zones and (2) Brave Your Fear: Helping Women and Girls Face Fears and Take Action.
The facilitation is absolutely phenomenal; the activators can read the energy in the room and pivot the flow of the content based on input from students.
I find the student participation the most memorable, they are engaged physically, emotionally, and mentally in the workshop which breaks down the typical barriers we can see at a high achieving school.

Before working with Brave, I believed that most of the kids in my class were nothing like me and that I was fine doing me all by myself. Throughout the retreat, I was able to interact with everyone, literally everyone, and learn something about them.
The energy the Activators brought spoke for itself and they helped me discover things about me that I can work on not only to be a better man but to be a happier one, too.
Travis, GBMHS Student
Brave is a well-crafted, energetic and mind-shifting experience that combines science around fear with physical action, covered with fun! I left the session wanting to address different challenges and fears and I did!
Thank you to the Brave staff for creating a brave space to be and honor myself!
