Community Support
Since 1972, the Silver Spring (MD) Alumni (SSA) Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc has partnered with the MD/DC/VA communities. From our Award-winning Guide Right, Book Awards, National Society of Black Engineering, and St. Jude’s programs, SSA has and will continue to advocate for the next generation of leaders in our community. Through our partnerships with several local Homeless Shelters, SSA has endeavored to stamp out hunger and homelessness, by providing personal necessities and food items, for the needy throughout the year.
SSA will continue their commitment to bolster strategic partnerships in voter registration literacy and in other ways which the community can benefit. Here is our MLK 2022 community service update:
