Brothers on the Rise

Brothers on the Rise responsibly empowers male youth and their adult allies to achieve individual success, develop healthy relationships and contribute to a more just and equitable society. We accomplish this through comprehensive gender-responsive, preventive, pipeline programs that directly serve boys, young men and male caretakers. We also provide capacity building for schools, nonprofits and public agencies through training, coaching, curriculum development, consulting and collaborative management – all towards empowering the community to effectively raise, educate and develop boys into responsible, peaceful, caring and productive young men. Brothers on the Rise is based in Oakland with programs impacting youth, families, teachers and providers throughout Alameda County.
