Banding Together
Band of Brothers Summit
Young boys from OYC banded together at our annual Band of Brother's summit. This yearly summit is our immersive and signature male program. Band of Brothers, formerly known as Save our Sons, is a year-long gender-specific initiative created to provide a strong supportive environment for young males to learn, grow and express themselves, and the summit is a culmination of the program. Community leaders, role models, and businessmen came together to empower and develop strong mentorship ties for our male youth.
