Know Allegiance Nation is a village building enterprise that works to build a nation of knowledge seekers through consciousness raising and literacy attainment. We equip youth with knowledge and tools to lead today and tomorrow. Through the Illuminate: Literacy Entrepreneurs, Operation Rebel Community Radio, KAN Farms and KAN Books programs we provide access to basic, advanced, adult and survival literacy tools and knowledge.

Over the past 20 years we have also hosted the Illuminate Poetry Slam, Bikes, Barrels & Books Fair, Writers on Wheels Bike Ride, and co-hosted the North End Urban Expressions Art Festival: The Healing.

We support youth of all ages through our programming including youth in and aging out of foster care or from challenged backgrounds. We connect youth to other youth, to mentors, and provide them with paid internships and build up their literacy skills so that can communicate their worth to the world!

We pledge allegiance to knowledge. We are Know Allegiance Nation.
