Touchdown for Teamwork: Alpha Phi Alpha Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters!

April 2024

This past Saturday, March 30th, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southeast Michigan (BBBSSEM) teamed up with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (Alphas) for a fantastic day filled with flag football, workshops, and fun!

Building Bonds on the Field

The event kicked off with 11 lucky Littles participating in a fun icebreaker activity led by the Alphas. Next, it was game time! The Alphas donned their coaching hats and officiated a thrilling flag football game. Drafted to Team Yellow or Team Red, the Littles showcased their amazing skills and teamwork on the field. In a close match, Team Yellow emerged victorious with a score of 18-14!

Beyond the Game: Workshops for Growth

After the game, the Alphas facilitated two valuable workshops for the Littles. The first session focused on conflict resolution, equipping them with tools to navigate disagreements in a positive way. The second workshop explored the exciting world of careers, sparking conversations about dream jobs and future aspirations.

Celebrating Potential

To end the day on a high note, all the Littles received awesome BBBS swag to take home! BBBSSEM extends a heartfelt thank you to all the Alpha volunteers who dedicated their time to “Defending the Potential” of these incredible young minds.
