NAACP ACT-SO NEW ORLEANS
Students Travel to NAACP ACT-SO YOUTH OLYMPIAD
and
Return with 9 MEDALS and two $10,000 Lancôme Scholarships
| |
The NAACP ACT-SO (Afro-Academic Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) is an enrichment program, grounded in Social Justice, and dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing opportunities for 9th – 12th graders who are guided to engage in critical, evaluative dialog with community members in their areas of expertise. Through competition and enrichment programs, New Orleans ACT-SO encourages high academic and cultural achievement among high school students.
Over 210 of our youth in the Greater New Orleans area and beyond registered to participate in our local competition in April 2024, in one or more of the 33 ACT-SO competition categories.
As a result of that competition, NAACP ACT-SO sent 28 Gold Medalists to the NAACP National Convention in Las Vegas Nevada (July 10 through July 14, 2024), to compete for scholarships and national recognition. The students represented 25/33 categories. All students rendered outstanding performances! We have returned with the following honors:
