AAYI Kappa League Annual Fund Drive - 2022

About the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Inkster (AAYI) Kappa League

The AAYI Kappa League is the local chapter of the signature national youth development initiative of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Kappa League targets African American high school males and is designed to help young men grow and develop their leadership talents and aspiration goals. It provides both challenging and rewarding experiences to enhance and enrich their lives while creating a community of support for the young men. Program activities include leadership and personal development workshops; community service activities; career planning and college visits; goal setting; social/cultural events; and sports competitions that are all planned and implemented by Kappa League members themselves.

The AAYI Kappa League has become a highly respected program of the AAYI Alumni Chapter consistently being judged the best or among the best Guide Right Programs in the U.S. during the past 3 years. We were also recently recognized by the Detroit Chapter of the Association for Fundraising Professionals with the Sparky Anderson Award for Youth in Philanthropy for fundraisers the young men did for local non-profits including Black Men Read, Corner Health Center, SafeHouse, and the Student Advocacy Center. Individual members have been awarded national and local Kappa League scholarships, received invitations to join non-profit boards, and selected as a finalist for the Ann Arbor Area Young Citizen of the Year.

While the AAYI Kappa League is sponsored by the Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi and supported by member registration fees, needed funding also comes from contributions by community members that want to support the goals of the program. This helps us keep registration fees and participation costs accessible to all interested young men regardless of family income. Our goal is to raise at least $4,000 during this fund drive.
