The mission of Brothers Keepers is to develop young leaders according to James 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” While priority enrollment is reserved for single-parent young men, any young man between the age of ten and sixteen can complete an application. Brothers Keepers seeks to impart information and experiences that help young men to develop into responsible adult males, while nurturing in them a love for God and a healthy sense of self.
Brothers Keepers is ideal for young men who are teachable, academically motivated, self-controlled, respectful of others, and have the ambition of discovering, pursuing, and fulfilling their purpose for life; who will exercise disciplines and follow processes needed to become capable, conscientious, marketable, and prepared men with the skills, knowledge, and foundation to be influential leaders and make a difference in their generation.
