“The Brotherhood/Sister Sol is using their passion to uplift and inspire a next generation through extraordinary work that creates leaders and a sanctuary for children where their members can develop a higher vision of themselves” – Oprah Winfrey

The Brotherhood/Sister Sol is a Harlem based, community based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to developing Black and Latino youth into empowered critical thinkers and community leaders. The Brotherhood/Sister Sol focuses on issues such as leadership development and educational achievement, bias reduction, sexual responsibility, sexism and misogyny, political education and social justice, Pan African and Latino history, and global awareness.

The Brotherhood’s mission statement clearly states that it “is not simply an organization; more accurately, it’s a way of life. Providing youth with an opportunity to explore their ideas, identity and future among peers, with the support and guidance of their immediate elders, is a natural method of promoting positive development into adulthood.”

On Saturday, July 17th, The Brotherhood/Sister Sol, along with TRUE’s Claude Grunitzky and a host committee, will be hosting a festive afternoon in the Hamptons to support the summer initiatives of The Brotherhood/Sister Sol.
