Members and staff of Bro/Sis' Rites Of Passage Program

Bro/Sis Hosts Rites Of Passage Day

On November 13th, members in Bro/Sis' single-sex Rites of Passage Program (ROP) came together for a day of bonding and unity. The young men and women shared a light breakfast before heading out to enjoy a day filled with recreational acitivites. Events like these provide our members with a carefree day to strengthen their bonds as brothers and sisters.   

ROP is the cornerstone of Bro/Sis programming. Through this intensive four to six year program, members develop critical thinking and global awareness skills through leadership development, drug awareness, conflict resolution, political education, community service, and other activities.  Our program focus on topics such as Pan African and Latino history, sexism and misogyny, and political education and social justice. Members define for themselves what it means to be a sister/brother, woman/man and leader.  

Most importantly, members find a safe and nurturing enviroment where they can express themselves emotionally and creatively. Our members describe Bro/Sis as a home away from home and our youth workers as older brothers and sisters. This sense of security and the knowledge they receive here gives them the confidence to create a roadmap of success for their lives.
