Parents of IYT Brothers gather for the Parent Orientation.
As the semester begins, IYT at Mitchell Middle School has already reached full capacity for its program. The team quickly transitioned into hosting a Parent Orientation to share more information with both new and returning families.
The event had an impressive turnout — about 26 parents and 30 students — so many that we ran out of seats! Families left with a deeper understanding of IYT, enjoyed a meal together, and some even went home with prizes as a thank-you for their participation and commitment to the program.
IYT Recruitment
IYT staff spend the day recruiting brothers to the program.
As the school year kicked off, all of our returning members came back, but a few roster spots were still open. Shaq and Emmett dedicated two weeks to recruitment, meeting and connecting with potential students. Their efforts paid off — they not only filled every spot but also built a waitlist of eager students ready to join IYT.
Young Men and Boys Initiative
In this powerful conversation with Josh Fryday, Michael shares why connection, purpose, and service are essential to addressing today’s crisis facing young men and boys—and how IYT is building a pipeline from college to community rooted in love and belonging.
This month, IYT at Mitchell Middle School is incredibly proud to honor Sam as our Brother of the Month for his outstanding perseverance and dedication. Sam has faced a summer filled with significant personal challenges, including family difficulties and bullying from others. Despite these hardships, he has consistently shown up to our program each day with a remarkable positive attitude and a genuine openness to learning.
He demonstrates incredible focus on the bigger picture, refusing to be defined by his circumstances. Sam has also proactively utilized the IYT space as a supportive outlet, seeking guidance and connection when needed. His resilience and forward-looking mindset are an inspiration to everyone in our community. Congratulations, Sam, on this well-deserved recognition!
A Powerful Partnership with Farahi Law Firm, APC
IYT is proud to announce a new and powerful partnership with Farahi Law Firm, who have generously become a Champion for our programs at both Mills Middle School and Mitchell Middle School. Farahi Law Firm's commitment to justice and community advocacy extends directly to their investment in our youth. Their support will be instrumental in providing the mentorship and resources our brothers need to thrive throughout the school year. We are deeply grateful for their belief in our mission and their dedication to empowering the next generation of leaders.
