Beyond BRAAF

Our Beyond BRAAF program continues to offer education, support, empowerment and motivation to past BRAAF students, parents and families by offering monthly empowerment outings, monthly life skills workshops, quarterly family empowerment events, mental health awareness workshops, resources and access to parenting classes and CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. 

Beyond BRAAF also offers our past BRAAF students the opportunity to stay connected to their Brotherhood/Sisterhood, their Babas and Mamas, their Community Elders, their history and their village. We also offer our Beyond BRAAF students collaborations with other wonderful community based organizations including Enhance The Gift, Leading Edge Educational Foundation and Game Breakers Academy to provide our students the opportunity to be a part of their wonderful programs and activities.
