It started with responding to a call from fourth and fifth-grade
boys at a local elementary school in Trenton, New Jersey in
2017. Our boys desired to be seen and heard through their
actions, which required us to create a specific program that
allowed them to fellowship in a shared space. Meeting twice a
week, our program grew from ten (10) to forty (40) boys
overnight. We acknowledged our calling and began
strategically adding additional focus areas to the KP Initiative.
Realizing the disparity in underserved communities, and the
historical impact of systemic structures that greatly impact
Black men and boys, we decided to continue to build up this
space and come alongside our men and boys and help them
see their unlimited potential to live healthy, productive, and
impactful lives.
To create a positive atmosphere for intergenerational learning
among Black and brown males regarding relevant topics and
issues. We strive to provide a safe space of expression,
dialogue, fellowship, and encouragement. We believe that
Black males have the potential to change the narrative of their
legacy to one filled with an unquenchable passion to serve
their families and community and to successfully overcome
cultural and personal barriers. We believe they should have
the unrestrained courage to leave a legacy that will build
community and inspire the next generation.
Our vision is to create a worldwide space where every Black male child has access to quality education, resources, and basic needs, so they have equitable opportunities to thrive. We believe that by investing in Black men and boys, we are investing in the legacy and future of our society.
Servant leadership within The KP Initiative consists of dedicated professionals and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of Black and brown boys and young men within our communities. We work tirelessly to ensure that our programs and services continue to meet the needs of those we serve.
