Brothers on the Rise
Brothers on the Rise responsibly empowers male youth to achieve individual success, develop healthy relationships and contribute to a more just and equitable society. We accomplish this through gender-responsive programs that engage males personally and professionally in social service and social change:
Counseling - Conflict Resolution - Leadership Development - Mentoring - Organizing - Youth Workshops - Workforce Development
Parent Education - Staff Development - Training - Consultation
We are based out of the Spanish Speaking Citizen’s Foundation in Fruitvale and provide programs at Edna Brewer and Frick Middle Schools, as well as Grass Valley, Futures and Community United Elementary Schools. We are excited to launch year-round community based programs in July 2010 with Brothers, Unite!, a summer program for middle school boys and young men from high school interested in internships and career development in human service work and specifically raising boys into men.
