Kismet of Kings
One of Jersey City’s most vital mentorship & afterschool programs dedicated to empowering black and brown male students ages 11-18 years old from low-income and underserved neighborhoods. It is our mission to provide our young men with essential mentorship, character development, and life skills training to prepare them for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Leadership
By equipping our young men with the necessary tools and knowledge they need to lead effectively and make a positive impact on their communities, we are not only investing in their future success, but also in the long-term growth and prosperity of the communities in which they live.
Entrepreneurship
Achieving financial independence is a process that starts with acquiring the knowledge and skills to build wealth. We provide training by teaching them how to develop businesses that generate multiple streams of income, laying the foundation for their future financial success.
Character
By consistently emphasizing values such as integrity, responsibility, and perseverance, we aim to cultivate young men who excel academically and professionally while remaining grounded in their values and committed to positive community impact.
