Youth Development

The Foundation funds a variety of youth development programs such as the Kappa League Leadership Program, Kamp Kappa, STEM Career Exploration, and Academic Enrichment initiatives for young people between the ages of 13 – 21. These programs are designed to provide young African American males access to high achieving role models, from within the community, who serve as mentors and sponsors throughout their high school and college experiences.
