​"Jordan came in as a Freshman and hung out with me all 4 years. He was always outgoing and went to all the college tours, all the workshops, kept all his grades up." -David Gilkey

"My biggest lesson from Brotherhood was that to be successful in life I have to be around the right crowd and put in the time and work to achieve all of my dreams. Brotherhood helped me out by encouraging me to fill out a bunch of applications and find the resources I needed for college. I want to especially thank Mr. Gilkey for everything he has done for me. Even now, as I get older, he still checks in on me asking how I’m doing and making sure I’m always good. I’m blessed that I had a chance to be a part of this great group." -Jordan Manning, Brotherhood Alumni

"Brotherhood gives students like Jordan another outlet. All students have something going on with them. It might not be academic, it could be something personal. Students like him join the Brotherhood program because they want to be among their peers in a positive program that gives them opportunities. It helps a lot of students find themselves and become someone they wouldn't think they could become." -David Gilkey
