The Affair of Honor is our annual luncheon featuring our Achievers. Each Achiever has their moment to shine by being presented and honored by their families, after an exciting choregraphed dance performance.

​

This event is the culmination of months of motivational workshops, mentoring sessions, community service activities, and a Personal Social Responsibility workshop. The “Personal Development and Empowerment Intensive Seminars” include information focused on success in the areas of college preparation, advisement on scholarships and finances, entrepreneurial skills, and guidance in community involvement with an emphasis on contributing to their community and society. Mentoring sessions, where participants are paired with confreres from various professions, allow frank and in-depth conversations on pathways to success.

Community service activities have included, working with the Colgate Dental Van, Rehabbing LAUSD schools, collecting and assembling backpacks and hygiene kits for those in need in Haiti. The Personal Social Responsibility workshop is a unique event, tailored to meet the moment. Topics include how to remain safe socially, political impact on young people of color and using social media for positive influence. Participants must attend all meetings and activities. Awards and scholarships are granted based on financial need, participants essays, artwork for our journal, academic achievement and advertisement sales.
