True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.

BECOME A MEMBER.
KINGS Keepers is a dynamic mentorship and enrichment program designed for elementary and middle school Black boys to grow in leadership, self-awareness, and brotherhood. Through monthly workshops, cultural storytelling, hands-on learning, and character-building activities, young KINGS gain the tools they need to succeed in school, relationships, and life.
Each session focuses on a theme that matters—from emotional regulation and respect, to goal-setting, teamwork, financial literacy, and navigating peer pressure. Boys are guided by trusted male mentors who look like them, speak their language, and believe in their potential.
KINGS Keepers also creates space for open conversations, creative expression, and collaborative projects that help boys form lasting bonds and develop a strong sense of pride in who they are. Family involvement is encouraged through regular parent communication, events, and take-home resources that reinforce what they learn.
This program helps plant the seeds of confidence, responsibility, cultural pride, and connection—so our boys are not just prepared for the future, but deeply rooted in who they are and the village that stands with them.
"Sometimes being a brother is better than being a superhero. "

THE IMPORTANCE OF BROTHERHOOD.
Brotherhood is a concept that has been used to unite black men and boys who share a marginalized status. It enables them to express their emotions, violating some of the dominant cultural tenets of manhood.
Brotherhood reminds you that you are not alone. It gives you a sense of accountability and responsibility to be better and meet your goals no matter what they are.
