For more than 25 years, The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis)has been at the forefront of social justice, educating, organizing and training to challenge inequity and champion opportunity for all. With a focus on Black and Latinx youth, BroSis is where young people claim the power of their history, identity and community to build the future they want to see. Through unconditional love, around-the-clock support and wraparound programming, we make space for Black and Latinx young people to examine their roots, define their stories and awaken their agency.

We educate:

Through our comprehensive educational programs, we’re helping young people develop a critical understanding of their history, identity and role in society.

We organize:

Together with our members, alumni, and partners, we’re building on a legacy of youth-led activism to realize a more just and equitable future.

We train:

Through our innovative training models, we’re empowering educators and organizers to spark young agents of change across the nation. Founded and headquartered in Harlem, BroSis offers far-reaching opportunities for young people across the country to transform their lives and communities.

BroSis Summer Leadership Program (SLP) provides an enriching environment and programs when school is out. SLP helps members broaden their worldview by curating experiences to explore New York City through fun and educational activities, as well as helps members gain skills for entering the workforce. Each year we adjust and diversify our program offerings to best respond to our members' needs.  This is an opportunity for fellows and interns to get hands on direct experience working with our youth members. BroSis also utilizes the summer to engage in specific community enriching projects that further our impact throughout the year. The scope and goals of these projects vary from year to year.   

The office headquarters of Brotherhood Sister Sol is located on 512 West 143rd Street, New York, NY 10031.
