The Brotherhood follows a smaller model used by a school in the San Diego
area. Upper class men mentored younger students, encouraging them to get
involved and push themselves at school. One individual who came up
through the group in San Diego became a very successful teacher, moving to
Colorado in 2005. His name is Jeremy Gee; and he helped establish a group
that has come to be known as the Brotherhood mission. That is to develop
positive and powerful leaders in our schools and community and to teach young
men to live with character.
Today the group is made up of black males ages 14 – 18, who are working together to better themselves as students and young adults. This is accomplished through collaborative efforts in study groups and weekly meetings throughout the school year. Those students, who participated in all group study sessions, as well as the weekly meetings, saw their GPA's increase by an average of .5 by the end of the school year. The group members also participate in community service projects and outreach programs with the elementary and middle school children in the community which helps to develop strong character and promote the message of “Brotherhood” among their peers. The ultimate goal, however, is to change the lives of black males throughout Colorado and across the country by empowering them with the knowledge and confidence to pursue their dreams and strive for greatness.
