SAAB has accepted the demanding challenge by involving enrolled Black males at more than 200 colleges and universities, as well as middle and high schools in 39 states in the U.S. In addition, SAAB provides a diverse and culturally- sensitive environment for all ethnic minorities through our option for institutions/schools to call their respective chapter “Brother to Brother” (B2B) or SAAB, which allows institutions/schools to be intentional about inviting a more diverse group of young men to the SAAB Experience.
SAAB focuses on increasing the number of African American and Latino men that graduate from college by creating a positive peer community based on a spirit of caring. SAAB operates through student run chapters with professional advising and mentorship to assist young men to excel academically, socially, culturally, spiritually and in the community.
The goal is for all males of color at affiliated institutions to take full advantage of their academic years and to better understand and practice their full responsibilities, rights, and privileges as citizens of this country. Additionally, SAAB plans to work in the community with other younger males in need of guidance and direction along with adopting Habitat for Humanity as its official service project. Our objective is that all males will be role models for each other as well as for other males of color in their community. Additionally, it is our hope that SAAB members will be well prepared to enter the work force of professionals and compete as positive contributors with the best for a meaningful place in our society.
