Brother to Brother Male by Birth, Man by Choice:
A uniquely designed mentoring program for men and boys of color that facilitates the development of safety and accountability networks that build trust, improve community quality of life and eventually affect policy and systems change. Through a series of community and civic engagement outings, mentoring activities, social outings, and empowerment trainings, Brother to Brother changes the social isolates that stagnate the growth and development of South Los Angeles men and boys of color. The Futures Without Violence Coaching Boys into Men curriculum (which teaches youth about domestic violence and respect of women), the California Community Foundation BLOOM & PAT programs, and the Ethical Leadership in Local Communities model are featured in this program.
