One primary purpose of Alpha Phi Alpha's national programs is to

• A. Develop leadership and promote educational attainment and service
• B. Promote service alone
• C. Promote educational attainment alone
• D. Develop leadership and promote social events

Answer: (D)

The programs are built to develop leadership, promote educational attainment, and encourage service to the community. That combination is what drives Alpha Phi Alpha’s national initiatives: they aim to prepare members to lead in schools, workplaces, and communities, while also supporting academic success and organizing meaningful service projects that address real needs. Examples like Go to High School Go to College focus on educational attainment, while Project Alpha and similar programs center on youth development and leadership, and civic programs promote community involvement. Options that focus only on service, only on education, or add social events miss this integrated mission.
