The Heart of E.S.P.: An Extraordinary Service Program
2006-2010
Alpha Kappa Alpha responds to the contemporary needs of the Black community with comprehensive non-traditional programs. The ESP vision embraces a five-pronged program designed to excite, galvanize and ignite the passions of more than 180,000 members worldwide. The goal is to transfer this enthusiasm into a collective resolve to parlay members' talents, energy and creativity to realize Alpha Kappa Alpha's enormous potential for empowerment, security and progress.
ESP is an acronym for Economics, Sisterhood, and Partnerships.
The purpose of ESP is to energize and strengthen service to the community and sisterhood within Alpha Kappa Alpha. Drawing from the Sorority's tremendous reservoir of strength and commitment to serve, this extraordinary service program will have an immediate impact on its members, constituents and the broader community and powerful results well into the future. The sorority has changed its semantic approach, switching from “targets” to “platforms”.
The new program platforms are:
PLATFORM #1 :Non-Traditional Entrepreneur
PLATFORM #2 :Economic Keys to Success
PLATFORM #3 :Economic Growth of the Black Family
PLATFORM #4 :Undergraduate Signature Program: Economic Educational Advancement Through Technology
PLATFORM #5 :Health Resource Management and Economics
