Sigma Lambda Gamma - Sigma Lambda Gamma Education Foundation

Sigma Lambda Gamma Education Foundation

The goals of the Educational Foundation are based on the Founding Principles of Sigma Lambda Gamma:

Community Service

Support philanthropic initiatives.

Cultural Awareness

Support programming that educates members and the community about the many ethnic and cultural legacies represented in Sigma Lambda Gamma.

Social Interaction

Support programming that educates members and the community about positive interpersonal interactions.

Morals & Ethics

Support programming that develops ethical and responsible leaders who will support their communities in a positive way.

Young Women’s Leadership Program

The Young Women’s Leadership program is designed to build confidence and leadership skills for middle-school aged girls through an eight-week process that introduces them to the principles embodied by Sigma Lambda Gamma and a series of exercises and activities that helps them learn about themselves and each other along the way. The program is facilitated by members of local Sigma Lambda Gamma Alumnae Associations who serve as mentors and role models for the participants throughout the program and beyond.

The goal of this program is to get a head start with young girls to provide them the self-awareness and self-esteem to help them finish their high school education and consider pursuing a college degree upon graduation. As this program is a volunteer effort that takes place outside of the regular school day, the Sigma Lambda Gamma Education Foundation can assist programs across the country to provide materials, transportation, food and other program costs for facilitators and participants.
