Dancing For a Better World.
On March 29, we hosted a celebration of women’s history month and a fundraiser for The Brave House at 305 Fitness Studio.
This all-levels dance class, choreographed and taught by Evelyn Johnson, brought women together to indulge in the joy of movement, and we raised $500 for young immigrant and refugee women.
The Brave House is a community of support for young immigrant women and gender-expansive youth, ages 16-24, in New York City, with a focus on those who are survivors of gender-based violence. We provide free legal support, community space, and holistic services, including leadership training, one-on-one advocacy, wellness events, job and school assistance, support for new and expecting moms, and much more.
They provide free legal aid, community events, and holistic services, including leadership training, one-on-one advocacy, mental health support, job and school assistance, support for new and expecting moms, and much more. Each year they reach 400+ immigrant youth from 35+ countries around the world.
As the only non-profit in NYC to work exclusively with young immigrant women and gender-expansive youth, the Brave House is able to provide tailored services designed for this population. This focus helps facilitate a cohesive community, specialized legal strategies, and impactful events.
