Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enroll my Young Gent?
Applications for the 2021 – 2022 Consortium in Atlanta will accept applications now through September 20th.
What are the eligibility qualifications?
Students ages 6 – 12 are qualified to participate. Due to demand, we have created a special cohort initiative called The Ambassadors for young gents ages 13 to 16-year-olds
The Ambassadors represent a highly esteemed group of young gents who have had at least one year of formal engagement with Young Gents, Inc.
They are confident, tempered, and well-mannered leaders who all of our younger gents aspire to be. As a part of this prestigious group, the Ambassadors will be held accountable for carrying out assigned responsibilities during our monthly sessions and travel experiences.
What is the time commitment?
The young gents meet two Sundays a month from September thru March. In April, the boys travel together with their families for a 4-day year-end travel exchange.
How much is the annual participation investment and what does it include?
Young Gents, Inc. exists to normalize black excellence®. By establishing a peer group of like-minded, global go-getters and future leaders, Young Gents, Inc. is a strategic and intentionally designed initiative like no other.
Through cultural experiences, authentic mentorship, and practicing proper protocols of fine dining and travel, Young Gents, Inc. exposes boys of color – at an early age – to tangible examples of black excellence and equips them with every skill and tool they need to demonstrate excellence at home and exude it everywhere else.
