Who We Are

Embracing Every Curve of the Journey

Embracing the Brace is a student-led non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. We exist to uplift adolescents navigating scoliosis — a condition that affects millions of young people yet is rarely talked about openly.

Through community events, storytelling, and education, we break the stigma around back braces and remind every teen: your brace is a badge of strength, not something to hide.
