Together, we’ll explore the hidden threats of online exploitation including the alarming rise of predator networks like Group 764, which target children through gaming and social media. Insights informed by the FBI will help us better understand the dangers and how we can respond. This is a conversation we can't afford to miss. Knowledge is power and action is hope. 📅 May 13 | 🕖 7 p.m. ET | 📍 Virtual Register at BraveStep.org. Let’s equip ourselves to protect, advocate, and shine light into even the darkest corners. 💙 #Changemaker #DigitalSafety #ProtectChildren #BeTheLight #BraveStep
#ThrowbackThursday | #ToastTo10 🥂 In 2019, Bra #ThrowbackThursday | #ToastTo10 🥂 In 2019, Brave Step took a bold leap forward by joining the CULTIVATE program, an incubator for emerging nonprofits led by @nextstageclt. Selected from nearly 40 applicants, we were honored to be part of CULTIVATE’s 2019 Cohort, surrounded by visionary founders and powerful community change-makers. Through intensive workshops, expert coaching and a deep dive into nonprofit strategy, Brave Step emerged with a more expansive theory of change, two new program designs and fresh momentum in marketing and revenue development. CULTIVATE helped shape the foundation we stand on today. 💙 We’re forever grateful to Next Stage for their support, wisdom and belief in our mission. Here’s to growth, impact and the people who help us soar. #BraveStep #ChangemakerJourney #NextStageConsulting #CULTIVATE2019 #NonprofitLeadership #10YearAnniversary #ImpactDriven #MecklenburgCounty
