Community Impact
We operate strategically to make a difference.
Community Targets and Impact Days
Strengthen Our Sisterhood
For more than a century, sisterhood has served as the Foundation of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, to be an indomitable force for good in our communities, states, nations and the world. We plan to maintain our sisterhood through AKA Soror Squads, AKA Pals, Random Acts of Sisterliness, “We Are One” AKA Service Day and Leadership Development.
Empower Our Families
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has a strong history of supporting and servicing families, for we understand a healthy family is the foundation of a health community. This will be demonstrated through Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack (CHIPP), Youth Leadership Institute (AKA YLI), Mental Health Awareness, and Our Seniors.
Build Our Economic Wealth
Alpha Kappa Alpha is launching our most progressive and revolutionary economic initiatives this century. This administration has created institutional-level solutions to combat institutional-level challenges. This will be demonstrated through For Members Only Credit Union, Financial Wellness & Planned Giving, Sister Circles, Supporting Women Entrepreneurs, and Black Dollar Days.
Enhance Our Environment
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has the power to galvanize our organization of more than 120,000 active members, create a ripple effect, and make a significant impact on our environment. This will be demonstrated through tree planting, community and home gardens, waste reduction, and shredding and electronics recycling day.
Advocate for Social Justice
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority always has been at the forefront of social justice to promote fairness and equity. We stand in the gap to empower our communities and act in the best interests of all people through social advocacy and justice. This will be demonstrated through voter education, registration and mobilization, public policy forums, candidate forums, and public servant’s guides.
Uplift Our Local Community
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority reigns supreme in its mission of “Service to All Mankind.” Given the engagement of more than 1,046 chapters across an international landscape, we have an ongoing history and reputation for making a global impact through local change. This will be demonstrated through celebrating local community impact, chapter collaboration recognition program, and local community service grants.
