Project Alpha-LIFE IS CHESS

Project Alpha
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation began collaboratively implementing Project Alpha in 1980. This collaborative project is designed to provide education, motivation and skill-building on issues of responsibility, relationships, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases for young males ages 12-15 years. Designed to provide young men with current and accurate information about teen pregnancy prevention, Project Alpha consists of a series of workshops and informational sessions conducted by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity brothers.

The three goals of Project Alpha programs are:
1. Sharing Knowledge by combating ignorance and fear with factual information.
2. Changing Attitudes by providing motivation toward positive changes in sexual behavior.
3. Providing Skills by creating a sense of empowerment and self-esteem.

Coach Hodge, Brother Harlan Hodge, will conduct Character Chess Training weekly on Tuesday Nights. Each session is three weeks long. Participants will learn the basics of Chess and strategies for developing character to "win" in chess and life.

Each class will be approximately 60 minutes in length.
