Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. launched its Guide Right Service Program in 1922, a national youth development initiative focused on education, mentorship, and providing financial support to students pursuing higher education. Guide Right encompasses several impactful programs, including the Kappa Leadership Development League (Kappa League), the Kappa Alpha Psi Scholarship, and Kamp Kappa—an empowering initiative that offers inner-city boys the chance to attend a transformative camp at Hemlock Overlook Park in Clifton, Virginia.
The C. Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference is held annually across the fraternity’s provinces to equip alumni and undergraduate officers with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively manage chapter operations and lead successful initiatives.
The Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation, established in 1981, is the philanthropic arm of the fraternity. It provides vital support to both alumni and undergraduate chapters for scholarships, after-school programs, and national projects such as Habitat for Humanity.
