Young boys from OYC banded together at our Annual Band of Brother’s summit. This yearly summit is our immersive and signature male program. Band of Brothers is a year-long gender-specific initiative created to provide a strong supportive environment for young males to learn, grow and express themselves, and the summit is a culmination of the program. Community leaders, role models, and businessmen came together to empower and develop strong mentorship ties for our male youth.
Under the theme, “The Journey from Within: Unraveling Identity as a Young Man,” our young boys had sessions about power of expressions, the soul of a man and health and hygiene. Also, during the summit, our boys learned how to tie a tie, and they discussed the importance of looking and feeling good!
Big thank you to our facilitators Ruben Robert’s, J. Howard, Brother Lyle Muhammad, Dontae Palmer, Keith Storr and Juwan Justice for mentoring and pouring positivity into our young boys.
Also special thank you to The Children’s Trust, AshBritt, United Way, Miami-Dade County, the Miami Foundation and the Carrie Meek Foundation.
