Why?

Mentor 2 Youth’s Young King Program implements the Raising Royalty framework, a holistic approach to support and empowerment. Using the common colloquial phrase, “Life is chess not checkers” Mentor 2 Youth promotes an inside-out approach to engaging black males in character development through the lifelong implications of everyday decision making. Young Kings is a black male engagement platform for Raising Royalty.

Once a Young King is registered in our system and a parent or guardian allows permission, our Mentor2Youth bus will pick up at your home address between 8:45am-9:45am . Our transportation will take Young Kings home to your home address with an estimated arrival of 1:45-2:45.
