Building Kings. Transforming Generations.

About Forever Kings

Our Story

Founded in 2019, Forever Kings began with twelve young men and a bold belief: boys and young men of color thrive when they belong to ecosystems that see, hear, and value them. Today, that belief continues to guide everything we do.

In just a few short years, Forever Kings has grown into one of Greater Cincinnati's leading youth development organizations serving more than 3,000 boys and young men across dozens of schools and neighborhoods through evidence-informed programming, mentorship, leadership development, academic support, workforce readiness, mental wellness initiatives, and community engagement.
