The Heart of ESP: An Extraordinary Service Program
Alpha Kappa Alpha responds to the contemporary needs of the Black community with comprehensive non-traditional programs. The Extraordinary Service Program (ESP) vision embraces a five-pronged program whose goal is to engender a collective resolve throughout the Sorority to parlay members' talents, energy and creativity to realize Alpha Kappa Alpha's enormous potential for empowerment, security and progress.
PLATFORM #1: Non- Traditional Entrepreneur
: Women are seizing the reins of entrepreneurship because they realize that it is the key to economic survival. To build a strong foundation for women in business, Alpha Kappa Alpha will create economic expertise, success in business, and power networking opportunities for the non-traditional entrepreneur.
PLATFORM #2: Economic Keys to Success
: Economic development is expanding its reach to a new global frontier. Simultaneously, living standards within the Black community must be improved. To achieve these goals, Alpha Kappa Alpha will, through
education, synergy and partnerships, develop and disseminate the economic keys to success.
PLATFORM #3: Economic Growth of the Black Family:
The strength of the Black community hinges on the viability of the family. Alpha Kappa Alpha is sensitive to the fact that within the core structure, the Black male, in particular, faces potentially daunting challenges. Through activities that enable, support and provide access, Alpha Kappa Alpha will work to achieve the economic growth of the Black family.
PLATFORM #4: Undergraduate Signature Program:
Economic Educational Advancement Through Technology
Technology must be mastered if there is any hope of economic educational advancement. To address this powerful reality, Alpha Kappa Alpha resolves to work with higher educational institutions and other organizations that reach students to develop an exemplary model technology access and training program that serves the community and becomes part of the central activities of the institution.
PLATFORM #5: Health Resource Management and Economics
Through health resource management and economics, Alpha Kappa Alpha will address the many health issues and crises that face the Black community in the United States and globally. The mandate in this platform is to gain emotional empowerment, develop social support networks, and raise public awareness.
