Abstract
In this white paper we summarize the opportunity for discovery space in the coming decade of isolated brown dwarfs with planetary masses in young stellar associations within 150 pc. We suggest that next generation telescopes need to invest in characterizing young brown dwarfs in order to fully understand the atmospheres of sibling exoplanets.
