I have believed in service to others for most of my life. Since High
School, I have served on the usher ministry at the various churches I
have joined. In college, I joined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.,
because I believed there was a bigger impact to be made when joined
together for a common cause. Becoming a member of Alpha Phi Lambda
Chapter allowed me to hit the next level in service to others. This
chapter started a 501(c)3 organization, and purchased a property in Park
Place. Our goal was simple: Be of service to the community. We
opened our doors in 2018, and were starting the process of establishing
programs for the community. And then, 2020 came with COVID-19. In
addition to halting in person programs, it also halted our most
significant fundraiser, the Black and Gold Scholarship Ball.
This
has been quite a significant blow to our organization. I hoping my
friends and community members will support this endeavor as we look to
fulfill our scholarship coffers, develop new programs that will utilize
hybrid learning, and acquire the necessary equipment to operate into the
future.
