Over the past decade there has been a decline in youth literacy and job training. Suicide, homicide, high school dropout rate and teenage pregnancy are up. Self -esteem, motivation and most of all community relations are down.

 

Our mission is to instill the principles of responsible adulthood, critical thinking, personal and social responsibilities, into our youth and provide them with tools necessary for self-respect and community leadership.

 

The Upsilon Omega Foundation is dedicated to serving the total community. In recent years, The Foundation has implemented numerous social action programs that have had profound impact on the citizens of our area. The Rhapsody In Black Legacy Scholarship Luncheon annually funds our scholarship program. Our program has provided over 275,000 dollars in scholarship assistance to St Louis area high school seniors. These resources have enabled awarded students to pursue their dreams in the fields of science, IT, communication, business, finance and marketing.

 

This year our revenue falls below the amount we would usually provide, we are asking for your donation in helping our deserving youth turn their dreams into reality. We would appreciate any contribution so we can continue to help students achieve their goals.
