Our Community Initiatives, Partnerships, and Programs

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. is an international organization of more than 150,000 college-educated men dedicated to addressing critical issues affecting youth and communities. Through its national mentoring program for males ages 8–18, the fraternity facilitates opportunities that contribute to the academic and professional development of young men as they transition to higher education and careers. The organization maintains partnerships with esteemed entities such as the American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Boy Scouts of America, and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, demonstrating a consistent commitment to mitigating health disparities and expanding educational and developmental resources for young males.

The fraternity's core programs—Bigger and Better Business, Education, and Social Action—are unified under the umbrella of Sigma Wellness, its flagship community initiative introduced at Conclave Charlotte 2007. Sigma Wellness is founded on the following objectives:

  • To advance Phi Beta Sigma’s mission by delivering targeted programs that support communities and foster the growth of young males through mentorship and scholarships.
  • To ensure coherence among all organizational and community-based initiatives.
  • To cultivate community pride and responsibility toward healthy living, with the goal of reducing health conditions that disproportionately affect men of color.

Sigma Wellness serves as Phi Beta Sigma’s comprehensive men’s health initiative, designed to inform both members and the broader community about pressing health issues impacting men of color.

Through this initiative, we also provide up-to-date local information, medical information, assistance for our local veterans, and business services provided by members of our chapter.
