The Brotherhood Sister Sol
About The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) The Brotherhood Sister Sol (BroSis) is a social justice youth development organization that since 1995 has been a place where Black and Latinx youth claim the power of their history, identity, and community to build the future they want to see. By educating, organizing, and training, we challenge inequity and create opportunity for all.
BroSis provides holistic and long-term support services to youth between the ages of eight and twenty-two. BroSis offers wrap‑around evidence‑based programming such as four‑six year rites of passage programming, thorough five‑day‑a‑week after‑school care, school and home counseling, summer camps, job training, college preparation, employment opportunities, community organizing training, and month‑long international study programs to Africa and Latin America.
Based in Harlem, NY, but with a national reach, we publish assorted curricula and collections of our members’ writings; train educators nationwide on our approach; and organize and advocate for social change. BroSis has earned national recognition for our evidence‑based model, receiving an array of awards and funding from a host of national funders, including Marlene Nathan Meyerson Foundation, Charles Hayden Foundation, Cabrini Health Foundation, Kraft Heinz, New York Community Trust, Comic Relief/Red Nose Day, Trinity Church, William Stamps Farish Foundation, and more.
The organization has over 50 full‑time staff, serves thousands throughout New York City, and has an $11 million operating budget. In addition, we have moved into our new building – a 22,000 square‑foot state‑of‑the‑art beacon for youth development. It is an exciting period of organizational growth and increased impact in our community and beyond.
Position Summary The part‑time CAP facilitator position is an excellent opportunity for an individual passionate about youth development and educational equity. Working in collaboration with our College, Careers and Wellness (CCW) team, the CAP facilitator will play a critical role in supporting BroSis members through the college application process, assisting with young alumni engagement, and facilitating key events. The ideal candidate is engaging, thrives in a collaborative, active environment, and is looking to enhance their skills in youth development, program support, and administration. This position reports to the College Coordinator on the CCW team.
