Mentorship and Empowerment at the Core

The brunch is organized by the Kindah G.E.N.T.S. program, which stands for Gentlemen Empowered to Network Towards Success. Currently mentoring, teaching, and coaching 23 young gentlemen, the program focuses on equipping youth with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in today’s world while building a foundation for the generations that follow.

“This event is more than a brunch—it’s a celebration of youth potential, leadership, and community,” said Ernest E. Logan III, Youth Director for Kindah G.E.N.T.S. “Our young gentlemen are learning not only how to carry themselves with confidence, but also how to build networks that will prepare them for success in life.”

Their commitment to service is evident in initiatives such as:

• Sponsoring annual community events including the End of Year Cookout, Book Bag Giveaway, and Easter Egg Hunts.
• Providing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to families in need.
• Supplying resources to programs such as Operation Blessing.
