National Programs of Alpha Phi Alpha

 

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation began collaboratively implementing Project Alpha in 1980. his collaborative project is designed to provide education, motivation and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” (aka, VPHP) was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and a lack of education about the voting process.

Brother’s Keeper is a service program developed with the mission of advocating and improving the quality of life for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. brothers, their spouses, and widows who are retired, are elders, have disabilities and are ailing; and vulnerable community members.

The “Go-To-High-School, Go-To-College” program, established in 1922, concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and collegiate education as a road to advancement. Statistics prove the value of this extra impetus in making the difference in the success of young African-American men.
