Theta Alpha prides itself on its strong ethic for community
service and philanthropic programming. The F.U.T.U.R.O. (Focused
Urban Teens United and Ready for Opportunity) program is representative
of the organization's focus on the future of our youth and
the opportunities for their progress and growth. An outreach
initiative for young teens, F.U.T.U.R.O. is designed to lead
our youth to new horizons through educational workshops, character-building
activities, and one-on-one mentoring. Mentors from our organization
are asked to meet with middle/high school students twice a
month to provide several workshops dealing with the issues
that affect teens today. Among them may be The Importance
of Self-Esteem, A College Life Experience, Prepping-Up- for
a College Interview, Cultural Pride and Awareness, and Giving
Back To Your Community, to name a few. The students are encouraged
to become involved in their local communities in an effort
to teach them that they, too, can make a difference. By empowering
the young generation, we are securing their future as leaders
in our community. This program cultivates personal and academic
growth, and it provides its participants with social and communication
skills necessary to succeed in life. Lambda Theta Alpha feels
it is imperative that we acknowledge, guide, and support our
FUTURO. |
