Wall Street Alphas Charitable Foundation, Inc.
The Wall Street Alphas Charitable Foundation, Inc. (WSACF) was formed to engage in activities that promote human rights and develop the leadership and strategic capabilities within the African-American and Latino-American community. WSACF intends to promote the rights of African-American and Latino-American communities and other immigrant groups by encouraging educational goals, fostering and assisting in community building, leadership development and strategic planning by providing:
- Training and mentoring programs;
- Promoting increased access to technology; and
- Assisting community-based organizations to effectively carry out their missions.
The WSACF works with a national network of African-American & Latino-American organizations and other institutions to promote programs and events that benefit the African-American and Latino-American communities such as round-table discussions, consensus-building initiatives, and conferences that develop local programs and increase community awareness of issues affecting the African & Latino-American community. Through fundraising, sponsorship and partnering with worthy charities and organizations, the WSACF will facilitate this mission and goals.
Over the years, the events sponsored by the WSACF have raised funds for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, March of Dimes, Bailey House, the American Cancer Society, the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial. One example of WSACF.’s educational activities is the Alpha G.E.N.T.S. (Gaining Essential Networking Tools for Success) mentoring program. This program was designed to develop male high school students as they become successful adults by adopting a focused and goal-oriented philosophy through a structured atmosphere that provides them the foundation of life skills and continuous support. Our members serve as mentors and meet with the young men monthly to engage in workshops that are fun and educational. We invite ALL to assist the Foundation with achieving our Mission and Goals. We have much to do, but we will save our communities one child at a time.
