Making A Difference After School With Bro/Sis

The Brotherhood/Sister Sol (Bro/Sis) is a community-based, nonprofit organization located in Harlem that provides after-school and long-term support services to Black and Latino youth from ages eight to 22 in impoverished communities.  Bro/Sis aims to cultivate leadership development and educational achievement, sexual responsibility, drug awareness, political education and social justice, Pan African and Latino history, and global awareness.  Each year Bro/Sis provides direct guidance and support to more than 350 youth.

I learned about Bro/Sis through my Brown University alumni connections last November.  A friend from college was having an informal get-together to introduce us to Khary Lazarre-White, another Brown graduate.  During the evening Khary told us about Bro/Sis, which he founded with his childhood friend and Brown classmate, Jason Warwin, when they were seniors in college in 1994.
