Brother to Brother
for Middle School boys of color
Brother to Brother is inspired by the findings of a task force of parents, teachers and administrators studying the experience of boys of color at Gordon. It draws on the success of other identity-based affinity groups at Gordon like Common Ground.
The goals are:
- To instill a sense of belonging and confidence in Middle School boys of color
- To foster connections and mutual support between boys of color across grade levels, identities, and interests
- To provide an extracurricular outlet for fellowship, guidance, and leadership development
The program is led by Marlon Henry in collaboration with a group of mentors from Gordon's faculty, staff and parent populations.
The meetings take place on Gordon's campus, but there are plans for group adventures and excursions as well.
There will be six Thursday meetings, with the first meeting on Thursday, November 7th at 5:30pm. Further dates, and details on a June end-of-year gathering, coming soon.
