AOA will work
with various Prince George's County schools and students by offering
college and career awareness programs.
This outreach program is designed to guide students academically,
professionally and culturally while educating them about their
ancestral culture and history.
Our participants will be exposed to
a wide variety of activities including educational and career
programs, cultural exposure and personal development. The students
will be offered a variety of life enriching activities to include
writing and study skills classes, college preparation activities,
career explorations and cultural activities. AOA will provide an
outlet to assist these children in reaching their potential by
offering individual attention in small groups.
The students will
benefit from college and career presenters, college and corporation
visits and cultural activities such as museum outings. In addition, AOA has traveled extensively throughout Africa assisting school
children and orphans and hopes to one day connect African American
students with the students on the continent of Africa by offering a
student exchange program.
