A.I.M.M. Pillars

Brotherhood
We define brotherhood as a network and/or group bounded by shared values, principles, attitudes, and beliefs. This brotherhood will positively challenge and empower its members and hold each other accountable.

Leadership 
We define leadership in an individual and collective sense, as a person or group with the necessary qualities to be an example in multiple spaces. Leaders develop the ability to persevere and accept others' support and input to work cohesively towards a common goal with integrity. 

College & Career Readiness 
College and career readiness ensure that students have the translatable tools, skills, and abilities to succeed and excel academically. Students should be able to translate these skills and abilities into their chosen careers. 

Health & Wellness 
We define health and wellness as promoting healthy and holistic relationships amongst our students, including, but not limited to, students' physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health and well-being. 

Identity  
We promote positive self-identity development by creating safe spaces for students to examine their own experiences and identities and to allow them to express them freely.
