annapolis αφα reaches out to area high-schoolers

Seizing a nascent but growing trend, the men of the Alpha Phi Alpha’s Eta Eta chapter at Annapolis are moving to reach out to potential brothers even earlier than the first days at college. May 17 will mark the fruition of this effort, the inaugural African-American Young Men Conference, designed to bring in high-schoolers from the entire area for a day-long program on navigating the increasingly heavy burden thrust on ever younger teenagers, from STDs to college admissions. Wisely not overestimating the attention span of their audience, “all the presentations are intended to be brief so the boys won't lose interest.”
