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
has grown to more than 100 chapters across college campuses and high
schools throughout the United States and founded in 1990 has reached
a critical juncture in its development.
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.
SAABoffers regional conferences throughout the United States to incorporate the message of empowerment and success to thousands of young men each year. We invite you to join us for one of our conferences both in your area and around the country to meet other like minded young men, professionals, community activists and scholars striving to make a difference in the lives of men of color as well as the community at large.
