Program Overview

We're excited to announce the launch of our second 12-week Credible Facilitator Fellowship, designed exclusively for men who have been initiated into All Kings and have been impacted by the criminal justice system.

The purpose of this program is to cultivate men who can hold safe spaces in our community, extending beyond All Kings to make a broader impact. This fellowship is the next step in the journey for men to go from justice involvement to credible messenger. It’s a quest to discover your story, integrate into our brotherhood, and develop leadership skills to serve the community.

We are looking for men who are committed to supporting this work — committed to helping our brotherhood grow and committed to bringing this work to more men and more communities in New York. We have facilitation opportunities available, and we aim to develop leaders who embody the qualities of a king for their community, capable of facilitating healing and deep work.
