Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders: The Journey of the Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation

In the heart of Texas, a new beacon of hope and guidance emerges for the youth of Denton and Lewisville. Established in 2022 by dedicated members of the Denton-Lewisville (TX) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, the Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation is a testament to the enduring commitment to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.


An Emerging Legacy of Leadership & Service

The foundation's roots are deeply intertwined with the Guide Right program, a national initiative by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, designed to support youth's educational and occupational guidance, particularly those in underserved communities. The Guide Right program encompasses several key components, including the renowned Kappa League, an undergraduate training and development program, and various Kappa foundations aimed at fostering leadership, academic excellence, and civic engagement among young men.


More Than a Program: A Community Lifeline

The Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation doesn't stop leadership training. It's a holistic effort to empower the youth, offering various activities from college tours and field trips to camps and scholarship opportunities. But perhaps more importantly, it serves as a connector, bringing together various youth organizations, schools, and community groups in a united effort to uplift and inspire.


Bridging Gaps, Building Futures

One of the foundation's unique strengths is its ability to bridge the gap between young individuals and the professional world. Many participants in the Guide Right program, particularly those from the Kappa League, often lack access to professional mentors and real-world experiences outside their immediate environments. The Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation aims to fill this void, providing invaluable exposure and learning opportunities that can shape careers and lives.


A Community Effort

The Foundation also prides itself on its community engagement efforts, including collaborations with local entities such as the AT&T Center. By offering volunteer services at events, the foundation contributes to the community and instills a sense of service and responsibility in its young participants. Notably, the foundation works closely with the DLA Silhouettes and the Community Action Committee of the Denton-Lewisville (TX) Alumni Chapter, enhancing its outreach and impact through these vital partnerships.


Looking Ahead

As the Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation grows, its impact on the Denton, Lewisville, Colony, and Little Elm areas becomes increasingly profound. Through its comprehensive programs, partnerships, and the dedicated efforts of its volunteers, the foundation is not just guiding the right; it's shaping the future—one young leader at a time.

In supporting the Denton Lewisville Guide Right Foundation, the community not only fosters the growth of its youth but also invests in developing future leaders, innovators, and citizens. It's a collaborative journey of empowerment, education, and excellence, with the downloads guiding right towards a brighter future.
