Service Programs
2026 – 2030 International Programs
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is dedicated to implementing programs of service that enhance the social, economic, and educational well-being of the local, national and international communities. Programs remain the heart of AKA. The size and scope of services provided to our communities have grown and significantly improve the quality of life for all who reside within our service areas.
Service and sisterhood have been the cornerstone of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® since 1908. With the theme Championing Service, Empowering Sisterhood and Transforming the World, the 2026-20230 administration seeks to build upon Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s rich legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy.
This administration has eight Targets. AKA Foster the Future: From Here to Home is the signature program which is a compassionate call to action designed to uplift vulnerable children and families by addressing immediate needs while creating long-term opportunities for stability, success, and belonging.
The eight Targets will serve as the “Program Initiatives” which include:
· Target 1: Educational Support & Advocacy
· Target 2: AKA Family Matters
· Target 3: Health Awareness & Well-Being
· Target 4: Economic Growth & Success
· Target 5: Environmental & Sustainability Action
· Target 6: Arts Advocacy & Cultural Awareness
· Target 7: The Global Community
· Target 8: Undergraduate Impact Program
These initiatives are designed to improve the lives of those we serve. We will work collaboratively to maximize our outreach on progressive endeavors and consistently produce leaders who will advance our credo of service.

Fundraising
The Pink Ice Gala℠ is a major fundraiser for the Gamma Nu Omega Chapter and through the years the gala has helped raise over $900,000 in scholarship funds that have been awarded to deserving students in the Metropolitan Columbia area. Over the years, this renowned gala has become one of the most well attended events in the Midlands. Each year, approximately 4000+ guests and sorority members participate in an extraordinary evening of fun and fellowship.
Fashionetta™, a trademark program of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., is a program which exposes our youth to educational, cultural, and social events as well as participation in community service projects.
The proceeds from the Fashionetta™ are used by Gamma Nu Omega for its community service projects, scholarships, and educational and cultural activities for the contestants.
Gamma Nu Omega’s scholarship initiative began in 1943 with a $25 scholarship award to a female high school graduate. In 1998, Gamma Nu Omega awarded its first scholarship to a male high school graduate. As of 2013, Gamma Nu Omega has awarded more than $900,000 in scholarships to high school graduates and college undergraduates. Funds from scholarships and other community service projects are made possible through the community’s generous support of Gamma Nu Omega’s annual Pink Ice Gala℠.
