We mentor, educate and inspire about life, relationships, work ethic, networking, the importance of a quality education, health and fitness, community, philanthropy, financial literacy, self-respect and respect for women, and what it means to be a MAN.
   Our demographic is the greater Los Angeles area. We target young men in underperforming and overlooked communities, where, in some cases, the school dropout rates exceed 50%. However, we are open to and welcome candidates from throughout Southern California.
   At the 2nd Annual Brother II Brother Youth Empowerment Symposium at USC in 2008, one of the mentees – a junior high student named Jamal – was so disruptive he had to be separated from his group. Jamal recently contacted Vice Chair Ron Peters to say he had been accepted into a program for exceptional performers. Brother II Brother exists for young men like Jamal.   The mentors and volunteers of Brother II Brother believe that all young people have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not all children get the support they need to succeed. Brother II Brother is dedicated to strategically eradicating generational curses and strongholds that prevent our youth from achieving their full potential and realizing the American Dream. We believe that, with a little help and proper guidance, each child can discover how to unlock and achieve that potential. As such, we are committed to developing the programs our mentees need so they can excel. Ours is an endeavor set in motion by the desire to positively influence and enhance the way young men view themselves, their surroundings and their future.
