Mission
The Brotherhood of Elders Network is an intergenerational network of men of African ancestry who foster environments where Black boys and young men are empowered to flourish.
Begin to Build a Relationship
We know you care about where your money goes and how it is used. Connect with this organization’s leadership in order to begin to build this important relationship. Your email will be sent directly to this organization’s Director of Development and/or Executive Director.
Not only has the Brotherhood of Elders Network shaped me as a leader, it continues to demonstrate the power and possibility of an intergenerational Black-led organization. One of our main priorities is to invest in local community leadership, and few organizations exemplify this better than the Brotherhood. I urge you to join us in supporting them and fueling a movement that uplifts us all.
Lifting Up the Generation Behind You
Donations to Brotherhood of the Elders Network (BOEN) allow it to continue to invest in historically Black East Oakland. Every dollar helps BOEN provide Black boys, men, and their communities with the resources and relationships that support their wellness for generations.
“Anybody who is compelled to give to us is essentially making an investment in the future of young people,” Hodge says.
