Brother 2 Brother Kicks Off Year with Mentoring Month Event
Richmond, VA- January is National Mentoring Month and we are looking for a few good men. The Brother 2 Brother Mentor and Coaching Program will kick off the year with a special mentoring event on January 31, 2012 at the East District Family Resource Center. The evening will consist of a screening and community discussion of the award winning documentary "Men II Boys" (www.whatblackmenthink.com). This event is open to the community and will serve as an opportunity for Black men to become mentors and young men in middle and high school to sign up for mentoring services-becoming a part of the Brother 2 Brother family. Attendees will be introduced to Brother 2 Brother by its founders-Sean Young and Lloyd Young-and be informed about the programs and services that Brother 2 Brother has to offer.
This year Brother 2 Brother is partnering with the Black Male Achievement Mentoring Initiative (BMAMI), a national movement to "ensure that Black boys and young Black men are connected to effective mentoring services". Brother 2 Brother is spearheading the BMAMI in the City of Richmond. As of December 19, 2011 Richmond is 1 of 63 cities nationwide to partner with BMAMI. The BMAMI is a collaborative effort of the Open Society Foundation, Mentoring USA, and National Cares Mentoring Movement with technical support provided by The Black Star Project (www.blackstarproject.org).
Brother 2 Brother, the flagship program of Young Minds Youth and Family Development, was established in 2009. Brother 2 Brother specializes in the development and training of Black men and boys. Despite facing difficulty in recruiting ongoing mentors, Brother 2 Brother has been able to provide workshops and conferences for numerous Black men and boys in the Richmond Metro area.

Belle Couture Image believes that Models are made, not born, and that each individual deserves the right to feel confident in their skin. Belle Couture Image is dedicated to bringing quality and affordable modeling, acting, and personal development consultation to Richmond, Virginia. Belle Couture Image existed long before the name was officially created. What started as a small group of modeling and acting consultants wanting to make an honest difference in the lives of girls and teens, has grown into much more today. Too often girls between the ages of 5 and 17 were being taken advantage of with false hope and broken promises. With this in mind, they sought out to become the building blocks for the inspiration behind Belle Couture Image.
Belle Couture Image offers training that focuses on preparing students for a career in modeling (print & runway), acting, and pageantry; while at the same time building character, improving self confidence, poise, and style. In addition, we have a fabulous group of on staff industry professionals who are eager to work with you!
