Psi Upsilon Omega Chapter

Since 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated has implemented programs of service impacting countless lives.

 

The 2018-2022 International Program will focus on Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service. Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, through its nearly 300,00 members and over 1000 chapters, will have an opportunity to address community needs with programs in five target areas:

​

TARGET 1

HBCU 4 Life: A Call to Action

We will continue our emphasis on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). We will promote and market HBCUs, encourage students to attend HBCUs, and provide financial support to HBCUs.

 

TARGET 2

Women's Healthcare & Wellness

We will raise community awareness about critical health issues impacting the quality and longevity of the lives of African-American women. The primary focuses will be Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention, Heart Health, Nutrition and Wellness, and Care for the Caregivers.

​

TARGET 3

Building Your Economic Legacy

We will emphasize financial planning, asset accumulation, and wealth building including savings and investment, managing debt, and improving credit. We also will focus on supporting and encouraging African-American businesses through entrepreneurship and “The Black Dollar 365,” where we will be intentional in patronizing African-American businesses all year long.

​

TARGET 4

The Arts!

We will expose students to arts enrichment and culture by focusing on the arts and celebrating the contributions of African-American artists. Program initiatives will showcase talent through the exploration of writers, entertainers and various other visual and performing artists and media.

​

TARGET 5

Global Impact

Through global partnerships, we will collaborate with organizations that provide assistance in international areas populated with people of color, including supporting organizations engaged in initiatives that assist refugees and their families integrate into American life.

​

The Signature Program is #CAPSM which is the abbreviation for College Admissions Process. It is designed to assist students in their efforts to enter college by providing a hands-on approach that includes all the steps from researching various colleges to actually completing the application process.

​

​

A significant feature of this programmatic thrust is the launch of AKA UniversitySM!

This exciting new platform will serve as the umbrella under which education,

training, and leadership development will emerge so that members can enhance their

personal development and provide more impactful service to the community.
