Kappa has long been an advocate for the development of youth throughout the world. This passion is spear headed through the fraternities guide right program. Guide right is a mentoring model that the fraternity uses as a template to gear young men in the direction to be achievers and future leaders of America.

These two major organizations will work together to fight and ensure that the same quality of education is given to all children, with s major focus on inner city schools. Kappa Alpha Psi founded in 1911 at Indiana University is one of the original Black Greek Lettered Organizations. Since their inception during racially tough times in the south, Kappa has fought for quality education for young black men. This new endeavor is truly an honor for the fraternity who will be celebrating their 100 year anniversary next year on January 5, 2011. The new memorandum of partnership was signed by the fraternities Grand Polemarch (president) Dwayne M. Murrray, Esquire. The historic event took place in New Orleans at the NEA national convention.
