TZO Ivy Foundation Mission Statement

​

TZO Ivy Foundation will go over and beyond the call to service to give back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast by engaging in community activities that will benefit the youth and less fortunate; and elevate our commitment to education for a lifelong service. 

​​

​

With the theme Soaring to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood, the 2022-2026 administration seeks to build upon Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority’s rich legacy of service by galvanizing our sisterhood of more than 120,000 active members to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy.

 

This administration has six initiatives. Strengthen Our Sisterhood will serve as the administration’s “Foundation Initiative” as we strengthen our bonds to support our service mission. The remaining five initiatives will serve as the “Program Initiatives”.
