Seminar Overview Project Alpha is a set of educational seminars for adolescent males conducted collaboratively by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the March of Dimes. First developed in 1980, the program's goal is to assist young men with making responsible life decisions. The program will have several speakers on various topics related to male life experiences. There is an emphasis placed on the notion that many life decisions have consequences, and they should be aware of those consequences.

Note: Project Alpha is a seminar held by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The seminar provides an environment where young males can discuss manhood and relationship topics. They will receive information on problem-solving/prevention skills, and share their own experiences in a mostly male setting. For questions or more information, contact Chuck Ford at (864) 325-2809
