David Gilkey
Co-Founder & Youth Champion:
​Brotherhood


The most inspiring part of my job is seeing our student's lives change. 

When I was younger, I was pretty sure I'd be in the NFL.

The most important thing I learned in high school was that it gets you ready for life.​

David is a member of the Wichita Gang Coalition and Real Men Real Heroes organization. He was nominated for NAACP Person of the Year 2008 and was a feature presenter at the 2010 Governor's Conference.

Co-Founder & Youth Champion:
​Sisterhood

The most inspiring part of my job is being in a position to make an impact in the lives of our students.

​When I was younger, I was pretty sure I'd be the person I needed when I was growing up.

The most important thing I learned in high school was to stay true to yourself and don't be a follower.​

Chris Tyler
Youth Champion:

Brotherhood

The most inspiring part of my job is broadening students' horizons on a daily basis. I want students to understand that their circumstances do not dictate their outcomes. 

​When I was younger, I wanted to a be a good reflection of the Wichita community and always be in position to help and empower others.

​The most important thing I learned in high school was to always be yourself no matter what. Run your own race and remember that education is the key to success!
