Omega Lamplighters

The Omega Lamplighters, Incorporated ( #OLL) is a 501c3 youth leadership organization for young men in grades 4th through 12th founded in 2008 by two brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated: Royle King II & Simeon Nelson.  

Our program was founded on the principles of Leadership, Academics, Maturity, and Perseverance. 
Our mission is to empower secondary-aged youth with academic and social skills, community connections, and progressive opportunities necessary to ensure their roles as active,  educated, and responsible citizens. Our aim is to turn good young men into GREAT young men! 

We achieve our aim by: 

1. Pairing young men with a man Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. to be mentored
2. Hosting educational and cultural awareness events
3. Teaching civic responsibility

The Lambda Iota Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is proud to announce the open enrollment period for the 2025–2026 Omega Lamplighters Mentoring Program. Enrollment will begin on July 7, 2025, and close promptly on July 18, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

This impactful program is designed to empower young men with the tools, guidance, and mentorship needed to succeed in school, life, and leadership. For over a decade, the Omega Lamplighters have mentored students from diverse backgrounds, helping them grow academically, socially, and personally. Many of our mentees have gone on to become confident leaders and positive contributors to their communities.

We recognize the ongoing need for young men to be surrounded by strong, consistent, and positive role models. With that in mind, the brothers of the Lambda Iota Chapter remain fully committed to serving as mentors, role models, and advocates for the young men selected into this program.
