I will be creating online content for the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Club (DGC), the Omicron Lambda Alpha Chapter’s extension of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. National Program: Go-To-High School, Go-To-College.
Omicron Lambda Alpha (OLA) is an alumni chapter based in Washington, D.C., who is charged to increase the betterment of the community through education, political involvement, social awareness, and economic and professional development.
The DGC was initiated out of the desire of the Brothers of the OLA Chapter to have a more intimate connection with the high school students they mentored to further guide them towards success. Before its implementation, they only engaged the students during their Boys to Men Conference, a one day leadership training seminar attended by young men between ages 13 and 18. DGC is an outlet for those young men who wish to continue their development.
The DGC provides males, in their sophomore and junior years of high school, with additional preparation emotionally, socially, academically, and financially to be leaders as they transition to higher education and the professional world. The young men are also taught the value of community service and partnering with other organizations that share the common goals.
Participants must have the following personal attributes:
- Must exhibit leadership potential within their school and local community
- Be self-motivated and have an interest in personal development and enhancement
- Have an interest in community service
- Wish to attend college
The sites purpose is to increase enrollment by informing the community of the organization, DGC events, the benefits to the participants, as well as, the requirements for admittance into the program. The target audience includes school administrators, parents in search of further assistance with their son's develop, and other organizations interested in implementing a similar program.
The site content will include:
- An overview of the Program
- Event and seminar summaries
- Photos of past sessions and participants
- Profiles of program leaders
- Applications and other forms
- Calendar of events
- Feedback and contact information
I will use the Associated Press Stylebook.
