IYT Mitchell Middle School Impact Update: February 2026

Month in Review: Brotherhood & Leadership

February at Mitchell Middle School was defined by powerful student voices and unwavering peer support. From sharing their experiences on a student panel to lifting each other up on tough days, our young men are proving that true leadership is about community.

Lifting Every Voice: IYT Student Panel & Brotherly Love

Brothers Bradley, Christian, Louis, and Jahari participated in a student panel to share their experiences in IYT.

Student voices took center stage as Bradley, Christian, Louis, and Jahari participated in a student panel to share their experiences in IYT, highlighting memorable moments and offering ideas on how the program can continue to grow. After the panel, students enjoyed lunch together as the room filled with excitement, laughter, and celebration.

In a particularly meaningful moment, when Jahari was having a difficult day, the other Brothers showed true brotherly love by cheering him up and surrounding him with encouragement. This beautiful display of empathy reminded us that the true strength of IYT lies in the support our Brothers show one another.
