On behalf of our Grand Master of Texas Prince Hall Masons, The Honorable Wilbert M. Curtis,  our Grand Youth  Director, Charles DeWitt, State Director (KOP), Michael Simms, Sr., Assistant State Director, Rahsaan Cook, Most Venerable Grand Master Knight, Joedicy Simms, Youth Knights, Sir Knights, Parent Clubs, and the Texas KOP family we welcome you to our website.

 

The Texas KOP Youth Leadership Training Program has been in existence since 1999. We currently have over 15 councils around the state  with additional councils starting in other cities as well.  Our focus is to train young men between the ages of nine through twenty in the areas of Leadership, Responsibility, and Brotherhood.  In the month of July of every year we host a Youth Leadership Conference.  In 2007 we hosted it at Prairie View University and in 2006 we were  at Texas Southern University.

In 2007 our focus was: Leadership & Decision Making.  We had an opportunity to examine how our youth make decisions in their everyday life. In 2008 we are planning on bringing this training back but adding a Part II: Developing the Right Attitude. We learned in our training in 2007 that our youth were making bad decisions based on having incorrect attitudes.  If you want to know more about our conferences please click below to watch our video.
