Parent
“Since Trinity has joined the Brown girls club her confidence has grown tremendously. To have a support system that looks like her and can relate to some of social anxieties of the world is amazing. She loves meeting up with these wonderful young women. Brown girls club is a sister hood full of positivity, growth and goals and I love it !”
Parent
"My son and daughter have been apart of The3BKids through Brown Girls Club and Brother 2 Brother. The growth my children have shown emotionally and academically is truly amazing. They are more self-aware and they are always thinking of ways to do and be better not just for themselves but for others. The bond that they have established with their mentor goes above and beyond the rec center they started in. The consistency and support for our family is genuine and all that the programing provides makes a bigger impact then The3BKids is even aware of."
College Student
"I chose to be apart of The3BKids because of the work the organization was doing in the community. It aligned with my personal values and I wanted to help impact in anyway I could. Overtime my "why" changed and I saw the vision that the founder had for the organization and I wanted to be a vessel through which 3B could expand and grow."
Youth Council Cincinnati Trip
Taking a trip to Cincy and experiencing the great atmosphere at Morning Vibes Cereal Bar was unforgettable, especially with our program kids who transformed into our new Youth Council. It was more than just a journey; it was a transformative experience that brought us closer together and opened up new possibilities for growth and collaboration.
