Lady Gaga is taking her Born This Way Foundation on the road.

The singer announced on Thursday that the Born Brave Bus Tour will run outside her upcoming US concerts and provide a space for 13- to 25-year-olds to learn more about local resources on anti-bullying, suicide prevention and mental health services.

Her foundation focuses on youth empowerment and self-confidence.

Organisations like The Trevor Project, Campus Pride and the National Association of School Psychologists will assist on the bus. People will not need a ticket to the show to participate.

The Born Brave Bus will be open ahead of each Gaga concert for several hours. The US leg of the Born This Way Ball Tour kicks off on January 14 in Tacoma, Washington.
