UW marks 6th year of Brotherhood Initiative and fledgling Sister Initiative

The Brotherhood Initiative at the University of Washington was launched in 2016 to help address lower graduation rates among young men of color (a trend nationwide). The program created a supportive network centered around mentorship, service and academic success for some 250 students. This year, the program welcomed its largest cohort of 60 students, double the number from the program’s first year. And the five-year graduation rate among students in the program is nearly the same as that of male students who are not from underrepresented communities. The success of the Brotherhood Initiative has led to the creation of the Sisterhood Initiative in 2022, an effort to create community and foster academic and social success for young women of color, from their first month at the UW all the way to graduation.
