The Brotherhood & Sisterhood Initiatives

Supporting the Brotherhood & Sisterhood Initiatives

At the University of Washington, we believe in the potential of every student. The Brotherhood and Sisterhood Initiatives empower young men and women of color through holistic, cohort-based programs designed to meet their unique academic, personal, and professional ambitions. 

The Brotherhood Initiative and The Sisterhood Initiative allow students who identify as people of color to navigate the challenges of college life, providing critical mentorship, research, and internship opportunities. Participants develop essential skills in entrepreneurship and leadership, fostering transformative experiences that ignite their passions and prepare them for successful careers. Through weekly seminars focused on leadership and career development, along with personalized advising and access to valuable campus resources, we ensure these remarkable students have the tools they need to thrive academically and personally.

By contributing to these initiatives, you are helping to break down barriers and create pathways to success for the next generation of leaders. Your support fuels their journeys, allowing them to graduate empowered and ready to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Join us in making a lasting impact—donate today.
