To
better serve our communities, the Men of Groove Phi Groove
have pledged to support endeavors that project positive
images of Black-American men, and which accomplish the
goal of moving us forward. This is an increasingly important
challenge as too many would be content only to focus on
the negative elements, and to see us lose those achievements
which bare the anguish, blood and lives of the many Black-Americans
who were essential in building this nation. Despite these
disruptive factors, the Men of Groove Phi Groove have
accepted the challenge and recognize that our future successes
will be significantly influenced by our ability to serve
as positive role models who must instill positive moral
values in our own children, and within those young Black-American
boys and men who may not have the benefit of a positive
male influence in their lives.
The
Men of Groove Phi Groove will continually strive to
set the right example by doing our best, pulling our
own weight, and keeping our families, communities and
the Fellowship first and foremost in our hearts and
minds. Through these convictions, the Fellowship's contributions
to society shall never end.
The
strength of our brotherhood can only be measured by
the ties that bind us.
Programs
The
Men of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. actively
support and participate in a number of programs and
projects which are aimed at serving the communities
in which we live. Some of these programs and projects
target Black-Americans, however, the Fellowship does
not discriminate against others based upon race, color,
sex, national origin, or physical impairment. These
programs and projects do not provide a financial benefit
to individual members of the Fellowship, as Groove Phi
Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. is a 501(c)(7) not-for-profit
entity, and The Groove Fund is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
charitable entity.
The
Fellowship's National Programs & Projects Manual
includes the following:
* The Groove Fund, Incorporated Scholarship Awards Program
* The Groove Fund, Incorporated Tutorial Program
* The Groove Phi Groove Mentorship Program
* Project Outreach
* Project Missing Children
* Project UNCF
* Project NAACP/Urban League
Although
the aforementioned programs and projects are specifically
captured within the National Programs & Projects
Manual, chapters are encouraged to conduct and support
other types of activities that foster the Fellowship's
beliefs and mission related to community and civic service.
