What is the Brothers in Power Conference?
The Brothers in Power Conference is an empowering event hosted by Lower Columbia College, designed specifically for young men who identify as students of color, come from marginalized or disadvantaged backgrounds, or are first-generation college students. Brothers in Power is geared towards males in 11th and 12th grade, but is open to any high school student who wishes to attend. This year’s topics will focus on men’s health, personal identity and the community, and life skills.
Brothers in Power is scheduled for March 27 from 9 am – 1:15
pm. Lunch will be provided.
Registration is through your high school; attendees need to talk to their guidance counselor or College and Career Readiness Advisor about attending. All are welcome!
