How to Support
The best way to support National Kappa League is to donate to our Kappa Foundation's Capital Campaign.
Our Young Men Need Us! There are countless studies and projections that say the future job market will be dominated by STEM-related jobs. At the same time, the number of workers who possess professional trade skills is shrinking. We are embarking on this Capital Campaign to impact much-needed change in our communities. We must be the change agent that we want to see and give funds to those projects that will positively impact our communities. If not us, then who?
