BRAVE is a program for 12-18 year old foster girls which exists to empower the local church to gather, inspire, and connect with vulnerable girls to prevent human trafficking.
The Spring Arbor Free Methodist Church Set Free Community Group has partnered with the Salvation Army and the Department of Health and Human Services to host the first annual local BRAVE event.
