Foundation Programs
D.O.V.E. Youth Academy
The D.O.V.E. Youth Academy enhances and encourages the personal development and scholastic achievement of children and youth. The program targets all youth including at-risk and disadvantaged youth that range in educational level from preschool to post-secondary. Special emphasis will be placed on non-college-bound students through mentoring, partnerships, and a program geared toward vocational education and/or workforce placement. In the Fall, we host our Youth Summit for the youth in our community.

-
Provides prenatal education and incentives to low-income pregnant women.
-
Motivates women to get early, regular prenatal care through earned incentives.

Scholarships
Annually, the Zeta D.O.V.E. Foundation has given over $10,000.00 to deserving graduating seniors who completed our program and met all requirements. The Foundation also donates annually to the United Negro College Fund. Foundation scholarships are named in honor of members who were instrumental in supporting and beginning the program. The scholarships are given based on academic performance, community service, and financial need.
Debutante Cotillion/Master's Ball & Blue Revue
At the end of each year, the Foundation sponsors this coming-of-age affair for our graduating seniors to spotlight their accomplishments and to award academic scholarships. The Foundation is seeking partners and sponsors for this culminating event to increase the number of scholarships awarded annually. The major fundraising activity is the Blue Revue, a talent extravaganza featuring our youth at their best.
