Staff

BROSIS STAFF MEMBERS HAVE DEEP EXPERTISE IN THEIR AREAS AND LONGEVITY IN THEIR POSITIONS.

Our programmatic leadership team consist of four individuals with decades of youth development experience. Our program staff are seasoned youth development professionals, who, on average, have over 10 years of experience providing culturally relevant direct services to Black and Latinx youth, and more than 8 years of experience working within our organization. Over 50% of our programmatic staff are alum of the organization and the majority of our operations and facilities team are also alum. Many of our staff are first generational college graduates and were raised in low-income families.
