Because Only Together We Can
BuildIng a World WHERE OUR African American Male Youth Are Safe, Strong & Valued
Who We Are
Partnering to build a world where our young African American male youth can dream, achieve, and understand their worth.
Brother to Brother (BTB) is a nonprofit organization tailored towards African American male youth ages 8-18 in the District of Columbia (DC). This organization is designed to help young men grow, receive, and develop their emotional, social, and leadership development. We are looking to help these young men reach worthy goals and to become positive contributors to their communities. We are a program for the educational, social, emotional, and occupational guidance of young men from adolescence to adulthood.
What We Do
01.
— We Educate
Our mentorship program is not only involved in the educational accomplishments of our young men in the program but also involved in their personal walks in life. Our mentors are dedicated to their success in the classroom as well as success in the obstacles that life brings.
02.
— We Build Networks
Through partnerships, events, and our mentors, we will be exposing the children to influential individuals, people of diverse college backgrounds, and different professions.
03.
— We Strengthen
Through motivation and understanding, we will guide these future leaders in conflict resolution, critical thinking, and equip them with an arsenal of positive ways to handle the uncertainties of life.
04.
— We Develop
Our goal is to create future leaders of tomorrow through study hall, mandatory events, and the carefully selected mentors in our program. Our young men will learn skills that will not just translate to the classroom but also to their everyday life and community. We encourage our young men to get involved in school academic and athletic activities as well as community activities.
05.
— We Empower
We are dedicated to teach the young men of our program about their self worth, their heritage, and appreciation for who they are and where they come from. Our mission is to flip the negative narratives that may possible impact their self view and to help them find the beauty in wherever they are in life and to hold a type of confidence that cannot be waivered.
06.
— We Care
Our approach is simple, we don’t believe in the traditional mentor to mentee relationship or participant to participant relationship. We believe in BROTHERHOOD, and through this brotherhood, we make everyone from mentor to mentee feel like family.
