Positive Brothers United, Inc.
About Us
Our Story
The story of the Positive Brothers United (PBU) originated back in 1991, which was the year all the original members officially knew each other. Some before then, but we were all friends and family by this year. Hence, we consider 1991 the year everything began. PBU comprises distinguished entrepreneurs, professionals, and community organizers who have maintained a close-knit bond for over 30 years, and in 2021, that bond became a community mission. PBU became an officially incorporated nonprofit organization with a dream to help rebuild the community of Merced, CA. Standing on the shoulders of our elders and predecessors who had taught us so well, we felt compelled to carry on the community-building and outreach tradition. With this group's vast array of experience, we plan to expand our mission nationally and internationally. Positive change and progress for marginalized communities is what PBU strives to help bring to the world!
We believe all young men can embrace who they are, can define their future, and can change the world.
