PROGRAMS OF ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA The National Program Focus of Alpha Kappa Alpha reaches across the nation to carry out its commitments of service. These programs are formulated by the Boule (National Convention) and developed by the Program Committee of the Sorority. The National Office Staff has the responsibility for promoting and implementing various specialized activities. These national programs are designed to communicate with a wide sector of the population in order to alleviate some of its major problems. These activities are: Job Corps Center for Women, Educational Scholarships and Grants, AKA Heritage Series and Leadership Training. PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT NOW Alpha Kappa Alpha recognizes that its basic strength lies in the creative and diversified programming engaged in by chapters on the local level. Programs are developed in accordance with needs of the community and have grown out of mutual interest of Sorority members and the people they serve. JOB CORPS CENTER FOR WOMEN Since 1965, the Sorority has operated a Women's Residential Training Center in Cleveland, Ohio for nearly 500 young women of all races and from all sections of the country. Of the two non-profit organizations of this kind, Alpha Kappa Alpha is the only predominately Black oriented group to continuously and successfully hold a contract for a job corps center with the Federal Government.
