The Brotherhood Sister Sol Inc.
The Brotherhood Sister Sol Inc., commonly referred to as BroSis, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to social justice and youth development. Founded in 1995 by childhood friends Jason Warwin and Khary Lazarre-White, BroSis focuses on empowering Black and Latinx youth to build a more equitable future.
Mission
BroSis operates on a mission to educate, organize, and train young people to challenge inequity and champion opportunity. Their approach emphasizes unconditional love, around-the-clock support, and comprehensive programming, enabling Black and Latinx youth to explore their history, identity, and community to shape the future they envision.
Programs
The organization's programs are structured around three core components:
- Education: BroSis offers comprehensive educational initiatives to help young people develop a critical understanding of their history, identity, and role in society.
- Organizing: They foster a legacy of youth-led activism alongside members, alumni, and partners to realize a more just future.
- Training: BroSis provides innovative training models for educators and organizers, empowering them to inspire agents of change nationwide.
History
The organization was initially founded as "The Brotherhood" by Warwin and Lazarre-White while they were still seniors at Brown University. They initially worked with a group of young men at the John Hope Community Center in Providence. The program was later expanded to New York City in 1995 and eventually incorporated to include young women, adopting its current name, The Brotherhood Sister Sol, in 1998. Dr. Susan Wilcox joined as a co-executive director during this expansion and served for eight years. Today, Khary Lazarre-White serves as the sole executive director, overseeing an organization that has received national recognition for its model.

Youth Mobilization Day!🌍✊🏽 After a month of training with NY Renews and TREEage, members of our Environmental Program took their voices to Albany! They met with three Assembly Members, including Assemblyman Al Taylor, representative of the 71st assembly district of Upper Manhattan—who, after hearing from our members, immediately signed two environmental justice bills into action! The first bill establishes a $500 million fund to provide upfront and technical support for public schools adopting solar, geothermal, and energy storage projects. The program will lower emissions, create union jobs, and reduce energy costs while ensuring underserved schools can access federal Inflation Reduction Act incentives. The second bill establishes an economy-wide cap and invest program to support greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the state by setting a maximum allowable amount of emissions and regulating the sale or auction of allowances. Shout out to Sixth Street Community Center for inviting our young people to participate in their youth town hall last month, holding trainings in their space, and motivating our youth group as it was their first time in such a big climate justice space. We are proud of our young people for reaching new heights! #BroSis #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateJustice (fb)
