#CAP℠ (College Admissions Process)
  • The sorority's signature program is designed to assist high school seniors as they seek admission into college by providing guidance and support in completing the application and enrollment process and entry into college. This approach includes all the steps from researching various colleges to actually completing the application process to enrolling in college.​

Target I: HBCU for Life: A Call to Action℠
  • Through this initiative, members will promote, market, and financially support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The sorority will also implement an endowment initiative (in partnership with the Educational Advancement Foundation) to endow a scholarship at each accredited four-year HBCU. ​

Target II: Women’s Healthcare and Wellness
  • Alpha Kappa Alpha will continue to raise community awareness of critical health issues impacting African-American women. The primary focuses will be Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention, Heart Health, Nutrition and Wellness, and Care for the Caregivers.
  • Alpha Kappa Alpha will introduce its own AKA Breast Cancer Mobile Screening Unit, which will provide access to mammograms in targeted communities. In addition, chapters will engage in activities that raise awareness of the risk factors associated with heart health, emphasize the importance of incorporating good nutrition into daily lifestyles, and emphasize the need for caregivers to practice preventive healthcare as well as intentional self-care.

Target III: Building Your Economic Legacy
  • Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will underscore the importance of maintaining personal finances, asset accumulation, and wealth building within this target area. Members will be encouraged to support African-American businesses and entrepreneurs in addition to educating the community about the value of supporting African-American businesses through their Black Dollar 365 initiative.

Target IV: The Arts!
  • Within this target, Alpha Kappa Alpha will expose students to arts enrichment and culture by focusing on visual and performing arts. With an emphasis on the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts Movement, chapters will champion activities and community events that showcase the artistic talents of middle and high school students while bringing awareness to the critical role that the Harlem Renaissance and Black Arts Movement played in the development of African-American art and culture.

Target V: Global Impact
  • We will continue the sorority’s focus on Global Assistance Activities. Chapters will make an international impact by engaging in global projects that provide assistance to underserved international areas populated with people of color.

Community Impact Days
Alpha Kappa Alpha members will implement initiatives annually, worldwide, during seven Community Impact Days to demonstrate the organization’s collective impact in program target areas:
  • January MLK Day of Service 
  • February Pink Goes Red 
  • April Global Impact Day 
  • August International Day of Prayer 
  • September National HBCU Day 
  • October Breast Cancer Awareness Day 
  • November Caregiver's Day​
