“I feel like I’ve gained connections with people who can guide me in the right direction. People think it’s just to help young men be better, to help them grow, which is true. But it’s also just to have fun, to join other kids your age, make new friends and experience new things.”

“I feel like I’m better prepared for the future because it gives me a bit of responsibility to have big roles in my chapter. I would encourage other girls to join because it builds their personality, helps them become more social and makes them feel more like they should help out others.”

“I feel better prepared because not only did [Rainbow] teach me how to do public speaking, it taught me how to make a resume and how to put myself out there for schools and colleges. It really helps with a lot of scholarships they give as well, so I can pursue the things I want when I finish growing up. One thing I really enjoyed is no matter where I turn or how hard the road gets, there’s always someone there to guide me through it.”

“I made the transition from someone who was being led to one of the girls who was leading, and that was a really important time in my life, both in Job’s Daughters and in my life in general. I felt it gave me a lot of confidence to then move on to other leadership opportunities outside of Job’s Daughters as well. I think Job’s has really encouraged me to always push for more and always expect more of myself in a good and healthy way.”

“It’s been a long, long way from where I came, and [Knights of Pythagoras] evolved me from where I used to be to who I am today. I would encourage young men to join the Knights of Pythagoras because it’s a program where you can get away from family problems, problems that you normally wouldn’t be able to get away from, even if it’s in your own city or neighborhood.”
