Our programmatic areas of emphasis, also referred to as our four pillars of service, are Fatherhood; Youth Mentorship; Scholarship; and Individual, Family, and Community Betterment.

In addition, we strive to raise awareness about the law and family relations, violence prevention, educational and social equity, values clarification, effective communication, and spirituality. Finally, we work to create opportunities for father and son engagement. We integrate our Fatherhood initiatives into the following programs:<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alphaomegachapter.org\/2017\/02\/26\/omega-men-for-homeless-men\/\"><u>Omega Men for Homeless Men<\/u><\/a>,<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alphaomegachapter.org\/2017\/02\/26\/omega-academy\/\">Omega Academy,<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>and the<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alphaomegachapter.org\/2017\/02\/26\/alpha-omega-social-action-and-scholarship-foundation-aosasf-fatherhood-institute\/\">Alpha Omega Social Action and Scholarship Foundation<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aosasf.org\/\">www.aosasf.org<\/a>)<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alphaomegachapter.org\/alpha-omega-social-action-and-scholarship-foundation-aosasf-fatherhood-institute\/\">Fatherhood Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Youth Mentorship<\/h3>\n<p>Through our mentorship initiatives, we provide primarily young African American males with the confidence and social tools needed to negotiate many of the distractions that may affect their ability to develop and achieve worthwhile personal and academic goals. As mentors, we commit to assisting youth with making better informed choices when confronted with life\u2019s challenges. \u00a0Our mentoring process includes guidance, support, and assistance with issues involving family, peers, environment, school, and life planning.

Since 1991, Alpha Omega Chapter, through its charity, the Alpha Omega Social Action and Scholarship Foundation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aosasf.org\/\">www.aosasf.org<\/a>), has awarded over $300,000 in college scholarships to students graduating from Washington, D.C. high schools. Our scholarship initiatives also include literacy programming, writing workshops, and STEM programming. We integrate our scholarship initiatives into our Scholarship Program,<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alphaomegachapter.org\/2017\/02\/26\/omega-academy\/\">Omega Academy<\/a>, Talent Hunt, and Achievement Week programs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Individual, Family, and Community Betterment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the spirit of My Brother\u2019s Keeper, the men of Alpha Omega Chapter proactively seek opportunities to help our fellow man, strengthen families, and uplift communities. Through a combination of one-time, ad-hoc, and perennial events, initiatives, and programs, we carry out our commitment to being an engaged, concerned, and responsible member of the Washington, D.C. Community. We integrate our Individual, Family, and Community Betterment initiatives into our Social Action and Omega Men for Homeless Men Programs.
