Fundraisers testimonials

“BraveWorks is one of my favorite local organizations, and I have worked hundreds of nonprofits. Their hands-on workforce development and mentoring initiatives empower women who have experienced trauma to turn their pain into purpose, gaining in-demand skills, securing meaningful employment, and building lasting confidence. Through strong collaborations with local employers and volunteers, BraveWorks delivers real, measurable impact and inspires hope across our community through those they serve. I’m proud to support the work they do and the positive change they foster every day”

Amy Jacobs, Board Member

“BraveWorks extends support, counseling, and patient, hands-on skill training to promote healing and trust after trauma. I have no doubt that this may be the last lifeline for some. I’ve been privileged to meet the women in the program, hear and see how they’ve blossomed, the friendship bonds formed, and the ability to hold each other up with new-found strength. BraveWorks is the soft landing that grants transformation from merely surviving to thriving.”

Anne B., Donor

"Walking alongside the women of BraveWorks as they work to turn their pain into purpose is an honor and privilege that directly aligns with our baptismal covenant to respect the dignity of every human being. Our partnership with BraveWorks helps us live into our mission to Love God, Care for Each Other, and Serve the World."

Laura K., Donor

"I have been a mentor at Braveworks for approximately five years, and one of the phrases that touches me the most is “From pain to purpose “. When you meet the artisans for the first time and you hear about all the trauma they have endured your heart goes out to them. You become committed to doing whatever you can to encourage them and make them believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Love me some Braveworks. Wonderful program.”

Yvonne A., Artisan Mentor

"When I first moved to Charlotte, I wanted to find someplace where I could continue volunteering in justice work and have an opportunity to meet people. I came to Braveworks with the hope of encouraging, filling up, being an advocate and speaking truth into our artisans. But what I have found is that they fill me up and give me abundantly more as I watch their transformations and see how the LORD works in their lives. Braveworks is so much more than a boutique or a restoration program. From the artisans, to my sister mentors, to the staff, I have found family here in Charlotte."
