THE BRAVE SERIES.
Empowering youth to unlock potential and prevent exploitation.
LIFE. LEADERSHIP. PURPOSE.
The Brave Series is a creative journey that leads teens to discover their purpose and fullest potential.
This powerful prevention solution is an innovative, ground-breaking approach that empowers the whole person to know their value, grow in confidence, and significantly decrease their vulnerability to exploitation.
COURAGE. EMOTIONAL HEALTH. VISION.
Every day, teens scroll on phones, encountering challenging content, relational issues, and assaults on their underlying value. This makes them vulnerable to harmful influences.
“When first introduced to the materials, I found them breathtaking and unlike anything I had seen. Interactive and thought-provoking, The Brave Series fosters meaningful conversations and personal reflection, creating an environment where teens can share and connect. Its beautifully designed presentation captures the attention of even the most discerning teenagers, making it as visually engaging as it is impactful.”
-Phyllis Unebasami, Retired Deputy Superintendent, Hawaii State Department of Education
What is THE BRAVE SERIES?

VOLUME 4 empowers readers with the knowledge and skills to safeguard themselves and others from sexual violence, exploitation, human trafficking, suicide, and other challenges in an age-appropriate and uplifting manner.
