I am grateful for the positive vibes that Mr. Matthew and Mr. Duane have had on my life. Their talks and guidance has helped me through some of my darkest times, times where there was no one else who understood me or took the time to listen. My mentors have inspired me to be better, do better, and expect better. I am a better son and brother because of them.   
My Brother's Keeper Student

As a parent, I couldn't be prouder of the positive changes I've witnessed in my child since participating in the workforce development program. The skills and confidence they've gained have not only prepared them for the professional world but have also translated into increased self-assurance and a clearer sense of purpose.
