We also provide scholarship opportunities through many of our fundraising events.

Our signature program is the AKA AKAdemy, which is structured to focus on the developmental needs of adolescent - teen girls and boys 6th through 12th grade. We currently serve more than 200 students with funding made possible through the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County, Inc.

Through our national program focus of Global Leadership Through Timeless Service, we embrace a full spectrum of program initiatives: Emerging Young Leaders; Health; Global Poverty; Economic Security; Social Justice and Human Rights; and Internal Leadership Training for External Services (For a full description of initiatives, see Programs link).
