Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
We provide identity development, manhood skills, business efficacy, financial literacy, physical health practices & social-emotional regulation to fatherless & mentorless boys in order for them to be contributing citizens in society.
Our Vision
ALL young men have strong cultural and personal identity, academic prowess, intrinsic motivation with mental, emotional and social strength and power.
Our Experience & Impact
Our Experience
We began in 2018 as a response to the rising and concurrent challenges facing young men. Since 2023, we began a Rite of Passage Training & Manhood Ceremony to see countless boys become holistic men in Memphis & abroad.
Our Impact
As of 2023, 100% of alumni K.O.D.s have graduated high school and 83% have enrolled in a post-secondary institution upon graduation. The remainder are in the workforce.

Your Support Is Needed
At Kings of Distinction we take a holistic approach to help young men achieve a fulfilling and balanced life. We currently have 30 young men from 7 different zip codes including Southaven & Germantown. We annually host Memphis' ONLY public Manhood Ceremony for boys. Our approach is duplicable. And with your support, we can have multiply in numbers.
