Dance for change
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 and refugee women and gender-expansive youth, ages 16-24, in New York City, with a focus on survivors of gender-based violence.
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.
