Two of Kappa Alpha Psi's most established social action programs--Guide Right and Kappa League--trace their roots to the Western Province.
Guide Right is a program for the educational and occupational guidance of youth, primarily inspirational and informational in character; its reach extends to high schools and colleges alike. Guide Right encompasses many of our youth oriented programs such as mentoring, college preparatory programs, and tutoring. However, the flagship initiative of the Guide Right service program is Kappa League, officially known as the Kappa Leadership Development League.
Guide Right
Evolved from a 1921 program of the St. Louis Alumni Chapter, Guide Right was adopted as the national service program of Kappa Alpha Psi at the 12th Grand Chapter Meeting (Chicago, 1922). The Province Chairman is Shannon Faulk, who can be reached at slfaulk3@aol.com.
A monthly Guide Right Directors conference call is held the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 9 PM Pacific. Western Province Guide Right Directors should join the online discussion board by subscribing to wpgrd-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
