About Us

What We Do

At the Distinguished Gentlemen's Alliance, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we are committed to developing the next generation of leaders by introducing transformative programs into grade schools. We partner with administrators, teachers, parents, and dedicated volunteers to implement clubs that nurture independent thinking, self-discipline, and personal growth in young men.


As a recognized charitable entity, DGA operates with the mission of providing enriching experiences that extend beyond traditional classroom learning. Through various programs and initiatives, DGA focuses on business, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership development, empowering students to achieve academic excellence and personal growth. By leveraging mentorship, structured club meetings, engaging workshops, and educational field trips, DGA creates environments where students can thrive and contribute positively to their communities.


DGA is guided by a team of seasoned experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization. These dedicated leaders are committed to fostering educational and leadership opportunities for students, ensuring that DGA's mission is carried out with excellence. Their diverse backgrounds in business and education enable them to provide valuable insights to the students. Through their collective expertise, the team at DGA creates environments where students can be themselves and grow into excellence.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Note From Our ExecutiveDirector

Dear DGA Supporter,


On behalf of the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Alliance, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to you for taking an interest in our young men. We are honored that you’ve taken the time to visit our website to gain a more thorough understanding of our vision, mission, and principles. 


The Distinguished Gentlemen’s Alliance exists to nurture and empower young men to become future leaders, innovators, and changemakers. In the world of tomorrow, our young men will face challenges that far exceed any that we’ve experienced to date. They will be expected to adapt quickly to the rapidly changing technological landscape, the increasing emphasis on academic achievement, and the fierce competition for college admissions and job opportunities, as well as social and environmental issues, such as climate change, social inequality, and political instability. Their ability to achieve success, personally and professionally, in such a chaotic and uncertain environment will depend largely on their sense of self as well as a deep emotional intelligence. 

At DGA, we are passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for our young men to develop themselves so that they might achieve their dreams. But we can’t do it alone, though. If you haven’t already, we invite you to support our mission by making a tax-deductible donation on this website by clicking on the donate button. Every gift, regardless of it’s size, helps us provide critical mentoring, programs, and resources to the young men we serve.


In addition, there are many ways you can get involved—whether by volunteering your time, partnering with us, or simply sharing our story with others, you can have an impact on the lives of our young men. For more information, please contact us at admin@dgaclubs.com.

Thank you again for your interest and support. Together, we can make a lasting difference.


With gratitude,

Norm Finley
Executive Director
