TO CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY SPACE AND PROVIDE LEGAL, MENTAL HEALTH, AND HOLISTIC SERVICES TO IMMIGRANT GIRLS, AGES 16-24, IN NEW YORK.
The Brave House has demonstrated remarkable organizational evolution from December 2024 through October 2025, transforming from a community-focused nonprofit providing cultural experiences and basic professional development into a comprehensive legal advocacy and leadership development powerhouse. The organization's journey began with foundational programming like Google workshops and digital storytelling archives, progressed through the successful launch and graduation of multiple Youth Leadership Board cohorts, and culminated in sophisticated legal services including court companion app features and a dedicated Legal Fellow. Most significantly, the organization has created a complete pipeline from participant to leader, exemplified by Yaniel's progression from 2018 member to Leadership Advocate and Wendy's advancement from participant to College Success Coach, while scaling from serving 30+ youth in December to handling 75+ legal cases and making 1,000+ member contacts by June.
