Participants can sign up and get the require parental
consent form in the weeks leading to the main seminar
at various mini-events in their community. Local Chapters
will
be
solicting young men to come to the larger on March 14th. "We
have great information and attitudes to share, but the
challenge to have young men encouraged to attend",
says Bobby Clark, Area coodinator for this year's event. "We
are asking the community to help us get their young
men to Greenville's
seminar."
(The Parental Consent Form can also be downloaded below.)
Project Alpha uses videos, handouts and small-group
discussions led by experts in health education and
law. Discussion is both informal and frank and the
safe environment encourages young men to ask about responsibility and respect.
Since 1980, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and the March of Dimes have been sponsoring
Project Alpha to help young men, ages 12-17, make positive choices about
their sexual behavior and responsibilities.
Project Alpha is a nation-wide program
sponsored by Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and
the March of Dimes to prevent teenage pregnancy for the last twenty-nine
years. This year, the upstate Alpha chapters in Greenville,
Spartanburg,
Anderson,
and
Clemson will work together with local middle school and
high school boys
to help
them better understand their role in responsible behavior and make better
life choices.
