BRAVE Communities remains committed to bringing people together across cultures and generations to Build Relationships Awareness, Voices, & Engagement (BRAVE). Your support powers youth leadership, community healing, and social innovation throughout Austin and beyond.

Each year, BRAVE selects a key social issue to explore through youth leadership, community conversations, and cultural arts. In 2026, we’ll address one of the most urgent topics of our time:

How can we use technology, especially AI, for justice, wellness, and the global good?

We will have a quarterly tech-focused, community-centered workshop series, each followed by a cultural and artistic celebration that uplifts voices, honors heritage, and reinforces emotional connection through music, art, and storytelling. And, we will equip BRAVE Young Leaders with the tools and resources to volunteer with elderly community members, helping them navigate digital devices, understand online platforms, and protect themselves through increased awareness of digital scams and fraud.

Your support fuels BRAVE’s core programs that make Austin, and our world, a more connected, equitable, and hopeful place.
