History:

Brothers Restoring Urban Hope, Inc. is a 501c(3) non-profit mentoring based organization that was founded in 2005. While in undergraduate school at University of South Carolina Upstate, B.R.U.H. founders Antonio Boyd and Victor Durrah, Jr. noticed that a number of the high school students they worked with lacked the positive racial identity, soft skills, and social capital they felt were essential to their success in life. Thus B.R.U.H. was formed to create a community-based and volunteer led organization committed to exposing students to avenues of success regardless of socioeconomic status, family dynamics, nationality or past failures using the connected scholars program curriculum.

Today, under the leadership of Executive Director Victor Durrah, B.R.U.H. partners with many organizations and volunteers to provide mentoring services to youth in Upstate South Carolina.
