Alpha Phi Alpha
A group of “simply outstanding young men” began serving Kalamazoo Central High School Students in the 2005-2006 school year. As this WMU Fraternity promised to do then, they still do now….arriving as a group of 3-5 young men and meeting each week with a group of male high school students assigned by the Site Coordinator who could benefit from a mentoring relationships. Towards the end of the school year, they host a big celebration on campus for 11 of the students they worked with.
This school year, Alpha Phi Alpha targeted students in Kalamazoo Central’s after school program. The majority of the involved students were freshmen. Each one of these conscientious young men serves as an exemplary role model. With their consistent presence, Alpha Phi Alpha has helped provide that extra support, encouraging students to see what their future could hold. They aren’t just teaching our students about the value of service. They are living it.
Alpha Phi Alpha, congratulations on your 2008 Champ Award!
