The Gentlemen Guide, or TGGP, is geared towards developing and assisting young men in the community. With the help of local businesses we will connect our mentees to resources provided by our partners. We would like reward all male African-American entrepreneurs, change-makers, and those who are positively impacting our community. TGGP is buffalo's first independent program designed solely for the
betterment and enhancement of adolescent African-American boys. Our intent is to ingrain the behavior and mindset of being a gentleman into inner-city boys through mentoring and guidance. A gentleman is any man of good, courteous conduct; one that not only takes care of his responsibilities, but goes above and beyond what’s expected. Some young men grow up without an environment conducive to attain the knowledge and the exposure necessary to learning how to be a presentable and productive member of society. So our “Gentlemen Mentors” will be skillful individuals that will take a mentee in and help them live life with a high standard of propriety, poise behavior, and morale; while learning a new skill
The Gentlemen Guide is Founded and Directed by Allen Knight IV. Knight is passionate particularly in philanthropy, and community-impactful endeavors. Our founder seeks to make TGGP his latest and greatest project starting in the Greater Buffalo area. Recently, anticipation has skyrocketed and the city of Buffalo has agreed that there's a need for a program such as this to keep our young boys off the streets, out the prisons, and instead – on the road to achieving their dreams. TGGP is a non-profit organization designed to provide knowledge, opportunity, and exposure to the youth (particularly young men) through the mentoring of Gentlemen. TGGP is a non-profit organization designed to provide knowledge, opportunity, and exposure to the youth, particularly young boys, but we have come to learn that women love what we do also. Gentlemen Mentorship involves a personal developmental relationship in which our “Gentlemen Mentors” who are more experienced and knowledgeable persons who will help to guide the less experienced or less knowledgeable person (mentee). Our mentors may be older or younger, but will have a certain area of expertise that could benefit the mentored participant. Our mission is to have a learning and development partnership between our Gentlemen Mentors who will have vast knowledge, and experience and someone desire to know better in order to do better. The person in receipt of mentorship may be referred to as a protégé (male), a mentee and that is TGGP’s target group. Please contact us for more details:
