Brother II Brother is a distinct and diverse group of over 100 professional mentors and volunteers committed to effecting change in the lives of at-risk youth through leadership and love. We work with young men (ages 11-19) to encourage them to pursue a path of education and enlightenment.
   Every year, Brother II Brother facilitates a variety of mentoring events with programs designed to stimulate and motivate our mentees, including in-class lectures at high schools and middle schools, visits to juvenile detention camps and our annual youth empowerment symposium and college day. For many of the young men, the symposium is their very first trip to a college campus, their first time stepping into a college classroom – a chance to sit in the very seat where many of our future leaders sit everyday and dream of someday sitting there. The impact can be quite powerful.
   Our mentors come from a myriad of socio-economic and professional backgrounds. Many are from single-parent homes… most raised by their mothers. Some were forced to get a job straight out of high school foregoing higher learning to help take care of their families… others are Ivy League graduates with corporate credentials. We are physicians, attorneys, police officers, journalists, civil servants, construction workers, teachers, truck drivers, engineers, military veterans, sales professionals and entrepreneurs. All are leaders. And we all share the common desire to make this world – our communities, our neighborhoods – a better place for our children. As such we have come together to lead with love.
