| Community Programs |
| In accordance with the Chapter's Mission, our signature
projects are as follows: |
"Sista To Sista"
This continuous program, in collaboration with Hamilton County Public Schools, provides a big sister/mentor relationship
with individual chapter members and girls from Howard School of Academics and Technology. Activities with the
"little sisters" have included: college campus tours, preview of the "Jacob Lawrence Art Exhibit" at the Hunter
Museum of American Art, Black History "Mahogany Bowl", job shadowing, book club and much more. |
"Pioneer Women"
This awards program recognizes African-American women who charted the course for women, particularly during an era
when doors were not open to women of color. |
"Reach to the Future" Scholarship
Academic scholarships are awarded to area high school students based on excellence in academics, leadership, and
community service. |
"HIV/Aids Awareness"
NCBW collaborates with area doctors and health organizations to provide programs and material pertinent to women
and the risk of HIV/AIDS. Our "Is Your Man Putting You At Risk" brochure with statistical data is provided and
placed in local doctors' examining rooms. |
"Black Dollar Day"
The economic impact of the black dollar is highlighted to demonstrate its strength. Black Dollar Day increases
the awareness of African American's financial contribution to our local economy. |
"Fifth Sunday Worship"
In an effort to strengthen our internal relationships with one another we take time to worship together on the
fifth Sundays in the year. |
"Reflections"
The Chattanooga Chapter publishes a newsletter for our members
and friends twice a year. To download the most recent issue in Adobe PDF format,
