Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is committed to revitalizing the African-American male and family through its efforts with the Headstart program. This collaborative effort assists fathers in their rebound from the social forces which may have weakened their ability to function self-sufficiently to achieve some desired goal in life.

-Developing effective strategies for increasing the resiliency of African-American men through intervention and prevention programs;

-Sponsoring forums to alleviate some of the stereotypical views held of African-American men;
