 Student African American Brotherhood
(SAAB)
is a
dynamic organization established specifically to assist our
participants to excel academically, socially, culturally,
professionally, and in the community. SAAB is primarily
comprised of male students who strive for academic excellence
and make a commitment to plan and implement programs that
benefit their community at large. We encourage our participants
to embrace leadership by being positive examples for each other
through a strong commitment to academic achievement, brotherhood, and community service. We provide weekly study
sessions, weekly developmental seminars for students of all
ages, business meetings, social and religious activities, and
work with various non-profit service agencies (i.e., Habitat for
Humanity, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Boys Club, etc.).
Goals
The goals of
SAAB, are for all Black males on educational
campuses 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 works in the community with
younger Black males in need of guidance and
direction. One of our objectives is that all
SAAB members will be role models for each other
as well as for other Black males in the
community. It is our hope that SAAB members will
be well prepared to enter the work force as
professionals and be among the best competing
for a meaningful place in their communities and
in our society. To achieve these goals and
objectives, SAAB will provide educational and
cultural activities for its members and others.
Culture
SAAB is a values-driven
organization that cultivates a culture of young men for a community
that has been marginalized at best. Our values are the cornerstone
for organizational decisions, program development, and strategic
collaborations and partnerships. SAAB encourages our
participants to embrace our Core Principles of Accountability,
Proactive Leadership, Self-Discipline and Intellectual Development
in order to exemplify the values that uphold our mission and vision.
