Developed over the course of 25 years, The Brotherhood Sister Sol’s Rites of Passage Program is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the leading models of holistic youth development.

The Torchbearer Training offers community and school educators an intensive Rites of Passage experience through which they develop a clear understanding of the philosophical foundation, framework and program elements that comprise our unique Rites of Passage Program.

The objective of this training is to prepare educators to develop and lead a Rites of Passage Program based on The Brotherhood Sister Sol model. Workshops and activities in this training have been developed to provide participants with the knowledge and experience necessary to understand the model and achieve successful implementation.

The training is coordinated by Jason Warwin, Co-Founder of The Brotherhood Sister Sol, and co-facilitated by senior staff. It has been designed to draw on the participants’ experiences and to build on their current knowledge, while providing opportunities for the development of new insights and skills.
