About Rise Up For Youth: Rise Up For Youth founders Lynn & David Gilkey knew first-hand the challenges facing young adults in our community. David began Brotherhood (originally Do You Want To Live Or Die?) in 2005 as a mentoring and gang prevention program for high school aged men in Wichita, Kansas. Lynn began Sisterhood (originally CLASS) in 2008 to mentor high school aged women in Wichita. Both programs seek to provide young people with the tools they need to cope with difficulties in life and to succeed in adulthood.

Lynn and David knew their programs should one day be their own organization. In February of 2014, that vision became a reality. Now actively operating in five local high schools, North, East, Southeast, West, and Northwest, Rise Up For Youth continues to develop and grow the efforts of Brotherhood and Sisterhood.
