Iota Youth Alliance at GHS Stepping ("A" Lunch version)

This is a step performance by the Men of the Iota Youth Alliance at Gainesville High School sponsored by the Gamma Omicron Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

The IOTA Youth Alliance is a national umbrella program through which individual chapters of Iota Phi Theta address the needs of Black Youth in their communities. Under the auspices of the Alliance, chapters either work with existing organizations or create new ones based on the requirements and available resources in their locality. In order to insure continuity, each of the Fraternity's chapters is strongly encouraged to prioritize youth alliance activities as a part of their programmatic thrust.

The Youth Alliance is especially important because it allows the Fraternity to make a national impact while maintaining ties to those causes and organizations with whom it has had historical relationships.

Outside of stepping, the Gamma Omicron Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc. conducts programs such as, but not limited to: college tours, shadow days, SAT/FCAT Test prep, counseling , and sponsored-professional speakers. Consequently, our chapter, in conjunction with this program, hopes to reduce the disparities in collegiate acceptance of minority males in addition to building stronger prospective applicants for post-secondary education.
