Adopt A School

The Zeta Adopt-A-School program is an initiative to create a school and community partnership that will positively impact student achievement, attendance, and the availability of role models for students of color. The program constitutes a year-long, mutually beneficial partnership that provides schools with resources, support and structure. Activities are designed to support learning objectives, and each partnership is developed jointly by members of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, and their adopted school.

​

Alpha Upsilon Zeta participates in Adopt-A-School with Bond Elementary School to help change students’ lives and the surrounding community. Our involvement in this aspect of community service is an invaluable contribution to education.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. partners with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Since its doors opened in 1962, St. Jude has been a leader in building awareness and support for the treatment and curses of pediatric cancers.

Elder Care

The Elder Care program was launched in 2014 under the leadership of our Past International President, Dr. Mary Breaux Wright. This initiative helps increase awareness of healthy behaviors and outcomes and reduce risk factors affecting the social determinants of health through education. This directly affects elders’ ability to maintain their independence in the community and their ability to age in place, as they so choose.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.'s Z-HOPE™ Elder Care initiative promotes estate planning, superior elder care and senior citizen education.
