The Brotherhood /Sister Sol
The Brotherhood/Sister Sol is a nonprofit organization established in 1995 to offer supportive programs for Black and Latino youth affected by the negative pressures of poverty, drugs, violence, racism, and miseducation.

The Brotherhood/Sister Sol is not simply an organization; it is more accurately a way of life. Providing youth with an opportunity to explore their ideas, identity and future among peers, with the support and guidance of their immediate elders, is a natural method of promoting positive development into adulthood.

Through various programs and activities --- rites of passage, educational support, leadership development, enrichment, community organizing, community outreach and international study --- our youth engage in community service within our safe space and in the larger community:

- Youth help each other to learn and grow through peer-to-peer support groups

- Teen members help younger members with homework, reading and other assignments

- Liberation Program members lead a community effort to demand the rehabilitation of an abandoned school into a community center, adding a youth voice to issues that affect their neighborhoods

- International Study Program students bring their commitment with them abroad and engage in local community development projects

- Musical, visual and literary art created by members serves as a catayst for change, through spoken word, performances and community mural projects
