Brotherhood
The Brotherhood Group is a unique, predominately black-led group of adolescent boys from the Allied Neighborhood who meet regularly to support each other and develop leadership skills. As one member states: “The Brotherhood gives us an alternative to being on the streets…our mission is to build a better relationship with each other and be productive. They have speakers, go on field trips, sponsor a neighborhood basketball tournament, read a common book, help at neighborhood association monthly meals, and other community activities.
