Emerging Young Leaders (EYL)



  Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated ®, Zeta Chi Omega Chapter is seeking
your assistance in identifying young women to participate in one of our new
program initiatives, Emerging Young Leaders (EYL). This program is designed
to foster leadership development, civic engagement, enhanced academic
preparation, and character development in middle school-aged girls in grades 6
-8. The goal of the program is to impact 10,000 girls nationwide and to in turn
enable these girls to become leaders within and outside of their
communities.

Zeta Chi Omega's EYL program will include girls from both the City of Alexandria
and Arlington County and will create an enriching experience that will carry on for
many years to come. Our program will include a variety of activities consisting of
leadership and personal development workshops, community service projects,
and educational and cultural outings to museums and other venues.

We are seeking your assistance in getting the word out to girls who reside or
attend school in either the City of Alexandria or Arlington County. Please make
applications for the program available to girls that you think are interested in or
who would benefit from the program. Copies of the application may also be
downloaded here (EYL Application). Applications will be reviewed on a rolling
basis. All application materials should be completed and returned to the
following address on or before October 14, 2011:

We look forward to working with the girls of the City of Alexandria and Arlington
County to develop our Nation's Emerging Young Leaders. For additional
information or questions regarding the EYL program, please contact DeChane

Thank you for your assistance.
