About Us

In 1996, Mark Davenport founded Karate For Youth.  The program quickly grew to include a summer camp and then, at the urging of the state, Mark opened his first child care center.  Karate For Youth proudly served the  Irvington community for 20 years before closing in 2017.

Mark then opened Destined For Greatness, providing high quality After School and Summer Camp programming for children in the Irvington community.  We have expanded our offerings to include youth and adult karate classes, as well as a variety of high quality evening and weekend classes for youth.  We also provide facility rental for community events.

Destined For Greatness is proud to serve the Irvington community!
