Guardians of Tomorrow

About

The Guardians of Tomorrow program, a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering at-risk youth in our community, particularly those from BIPOC communities.

Our program is driven by a singular and profound goal: to equip these young individuals with the essential life skills, resilience, and positive role models they need to thrive and succeed, despite the challenges they may face. We recognize the pressing issue of gang involvement among our youth, and we are committed to addressing it head-on through structured martial arts training, psychological support, and meaningful community engagement.

Program Details

What Does It Entail?

At its core, Guardians of Tomorrow offers a comprehensive range of activities carefully designed to meet the diverse needs of at-risk youth. Picture this: bi-weekly Jiu Jitsu classes, where these young individuals not only learn self-defense techniques but also develop discipline, focus, and confidence – invaluable qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives.

But our program goes beyond physical training. We recognize the importance of mental well-being, which is why we offer regular therapy sessions facilitated by trained psychologists. These sessions provide a safe space for participants to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience – essential tools for navigating life’s challenges.

Furthermore, our program is deeply rooted in culture and community. Through strategic partnerships with esteemed institutions such as the Alwijdaan Institute of Canada and Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha, we integrate cultural activities and engagement into our program. These partnerships not only provide participants with a sense of cultural connection and belonging but also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of their heritage.

Who Can Sign up

Ideal Participants

We target individuals under the age of 18, with a particular focus on at-risk youth in our community. These young individuals come from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and cultural identities. Many of them face significant barriers, including financial constraints and cultural stigma surrounding mental health. However, they also possess incredible strengths – resilience, cultural connection, and a desire for a better future. Our program aims to build upon these strengths while mitigating risk factors associated with gang involvement through structured activities, mentorship, and psychological support.

We had an amazing time at Bravé. And I cannot say anything enough, because from the moment we stepped in for a trial class to my son's classes, they are all awesome and always welcoming!

We can't say enough good things about this place. Children and youth who are in the early stage of the resettlement process in Edmonton have the chance to learn martial arts free of charge.

Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu genuinely changed my life, and the coaches at Bravé have been a big part of that. They're super kind, professional, and attentive.
