The five day August Brave Buddies program offers an immersive experience to help children (3-12 years-old) practice brave talking across a full week of activities.
Our classroom-like setting allows children to practice speaking in a familiar environment and build momentum speaking in a school building ahead of the new school year.
We also provide opportunities out of the classroom, encouraging the children to continue speaking in the community when the program is over.
Parent training sessions happen daily so that parents leave feeling empowered to keep the progress going.
