To place the training, experience, and friendly interest of successful men, at the disposal of youth needing inspiration and counsel regarding their choice of a life's career
The AAA Kappa Guide Right Program began in 2004. The program consists of three core programs. Kappa League, Kappa Akademy, and our Krimson Foundation School Outreach. The program focuses on personal development, academic achievement, college and career preparation, and community service. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for African American males and their families in our Eastern Montgomery County Pennsylvania, community by providing programs, training, and events.
Our vision is to be recognized regionally and nationally as a leader in supporting the development of young African American males by providing experiences that enable them to realize their full potential.
Guide Right is a program of the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informative in character. The purpose of the Guide Right Service Program is to place the training, experience, and interest of successful men at the disposal of youth. We focus on developing leadership, creating an achievement mindset, and mentoring.
Conceived in 1922 by Leon W. Stewart and suggested at the twelfth Grand Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi®, Guide Right became the fraternity’s national service program.. Leon Steward is the founder of the National Guide Right movement of Kappa Alpha Psi® Fraternity, Inc. and Past Western Province Polemarch. Soon after the St. Louis Alumni Chapter’s beginning in 1921, Leon W. Steward and J. Jerome Peters were assigned to research possible programs that would assist in developing the youth of the Black community and to devise a “meaningful and practical approach” to the problem of Black youth underachievement.
Ultimately, Brother Steward, proposed a program of guidance to be designated as Guide Right, with the purpose of assisting high school seniors to choose and pursue useful careers. The focus of Guide Right, from its inception, was to provide scholarships to needy and talented students, and to inform young people of the professions and other career options.
