Vision

Always Bev is dedicated to honoring my sister, Beverly, whose life was tragically cut short by gun violence at the hands of her fiancé. After his release from prison in 2018, Always Bev was founded with a clear mission: Educate and empower individuals with the tools needed to recognize and prevent predatory behavior. Our Personal Safety Course has been described as "life-changing" and has been very well-received by universities, organizations, and corporations nationwide. Although many women take our course, our content can also be designed for men and women. This course equips individuals with essential safety skills and knowledge to prevent targeted behavior, covering critical areas such as: * Situational Awareness * Threats involving weapons * Charm and manipulation tactics * Identifying warning signs * Relationship red flags * The connection between alcohol and violence * The importance of strong body language * The power of intuition

Goals

1. 1.With funding we are able to reach more more communities which means more individuals will be educated with skills to stay safe. We currently perform on average 20 - 25 events per year. . By increased funding we will have the ability to impact more people at each location and perform multiple events.
2. 2.We currently have 1 paid employee and 2 interns on staff. Expanding our staff is a major goal for our growth. Having the sustainability to bring on individuals will contribute to our growth, the number of events we have per year and allow us to educate and empower more people! It will also allow us to grow in the area of community outreach and partnerships.
3. 3.In May 2025, we are launching a new program which is Advanced Personal Safety. This program is a follow up program for entities that bring us back each year to speak to their students and employees. The content within this format was designed based on the needs of entities feedback that we serve as well as the concerns that they expressed they desired for better security and safety.
