OUR PROGRAMS

A VOTELESS PEOPLE IS A HOPELESS PEOPLE®

“A Voteless People is a Hopeless People” (aka VPHP) was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930’s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal, and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration have remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990’s, the focus has shifted to include political awareness and empowerment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.

GO-TO-HIGH-SCHOOL, GO-TO-COLLEGE©

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.

PROJECT ALPHA ®

This collaborative project, which is symbolized by both genders signs side by side, is designed to provide education, motivation, and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years. Designed to provide young men with current and accurate information about teen pregnancy prevention, Project Alpha™ consists of a series of workshops and informational sessions conducted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers.
