Our Founding Story
The Courage to Bee Project was born when our founder started solo traveling the world in 2015. Inspired by her own travels to some of the most impoverished countries in the world.
While sharing and creating these experiences with students, she also started seeing the importance of creating a network that provides opportunities for the Youth to volunteer in their own communities.
All of these experiences made her realized a few things:
At that learning age, students are shaping who they are and finding their path in the world sometimes living and dealing with very difficult circumstances, they want to belong; they want to feel worth it, the want to be heard, but also want to help and change their communities! For all of this they need skills and tools that will help them shape a new future. We all (females & Males) live with some type of fear we want to overcome. The fear sometimes never leaves, BUT there is always something or someone that will help us on the way to find the #Couargetobee that person we are building for ourselves.
The Courage to Bee project was launched officially in february 2020 when we went to the Dominican Republic to impact more than 200 hundred students with our first workshop “The Courage to bee me”. The students will also receive through our project “ One Mochila at a time” backpacks and school supplies to go back to school. We will extend our projects in the future to more countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.
