Program Target: The Black Family
The world we see in the new millennium is one where a child's need for time with
his or her parents is a top priority; where family togetherness is prized; where
family ties are reestablished; where parents consider the well-being of their
children; and where homelessness does not exist. This program focuses on issues
that divide the Black family, at-risk youth, family values for middle and high
school youth, caregiver training, Black family outreach, and AKA Coat Day.
NEW PROGRAMS
Program 1:
Martin L. King Day of Service
“A Day ON instead of a Day Off”

Alpha Kappa Alpha encourages its members to observe the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Holiday as a day of service. Opportunities include tutoring, training tutors,
stocking a food or clothing pantry and/or providing health screening. In partnership
with (CNCS) our members are encouraged to bring people together around the common
focus of service to others. Funds are available through CNCS to support activities
that strengthen communities and reflect the life and teachings of Dr. King.
Program 2:

Alpha Kappa Alpha’s focus has since its inception been “Service
to All Mankind.” This administration strongly encourages involvement of
individuals, families and communities in volunteer services. In partnership

year beginning in 2003.
