Educational Development
Educational Development is one of the
major programs of our illustrious Sorority’s Five-Point Thrust.
Educational Development focuses on the academic betterment of youth in our
surrounding community as well as exposure to those educational
opportunities within and outside of the community.
The Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy program is geared towards middle
school females between the ages of 11 and 14. Currently, Delta Academy has
between 15 to 20 participants from Asbury Park Intermediate and Neptune
Middle School. The program focuses on six components including Sisterhood,
Scholarship, Service, Infinitely Complete, Show Me the Money, and
Literacy. Participants are exposed to a multitude of activities to include
math lessons, guest speakers, arts & crafts, community service, fashion
workshops and book discussions.
The Scholarship Committee oversees the disbursement of scholarship
applications to Monmouth and Ocean County high schools. Each year, MCAC
works to award deserving young ladies scholarships towards their college
education. The annual Red & White Affaire serves as MCAC’s only means of
raising the necessary funds to award such scholarships and is currently in
its 17th year.
Exposing high school juniors and seniors to Historically Black Colleges
and Universities (HBCUs) is the objective of the College Tour Committee.
In past years, MCAC has chartered a bus and taken students to surrounding
colleges to include Howard University, Delaware State University, and
Morgan State University to name a few. This year, the committee looks to
partner with other organizations to bring the tour to fruition. The tour
is conducted on an annual basis during Spring Break.
The Educational Development Committee works in conjunction with Calvary
Church, Red Bank to provide tutorial assistance to students. |
