Student African American Brotherhood


 

 

Welcome to SAAB
National Headquarters!

Student African American Brotherhood (SAAB) increases the number of African American and Latino men graduating from college by creating a positive peer community based on a spirit of caring. SAAB operates through student run chapters on college and high school campuses throughout the nation. SAAB members excel academically, socially, culturally, spiritually and in service to the community. 

SAAB was founded in 1990 and has grown to more than 185 chapters across college campuses and high schools in 39 states throughout the United States .



 

 

SAAB announces its partnership with the "TIED TO GREATNESS™" The TIED TO GREATNESS™ national outreach program targets at-risk inner city high school males with its self-image improvement effort. With an average of just 35% of inner city males graduating from high school, TIED TO GREATNESS™ uses the power of positive male role models, the influence of fashion, and the symbolism of the necktie as a point of manhood and maturity to remind young men about the importance of personal image, and encourages each participant to make different choices about their futures. Visit the TIED TO GREATNESS™ web site at www.tiedtogreatness.org for more information.
 


SAAB is delighted to introduce Mr. Robert Jackson as one of our newest SAAB Faculty members.  Mr. Jackson is the author of the newly released book "No More Excuses.... Black Men Stand Up!".  For more information about the book, please visit the web site www.blackmenstand.com.
