Social Action

Social action is a cornerstone of Eta Nu Nu's purpose, guiding our chapter's activities in ways that have a meaningful and lasting impact on the greater Columbus community. Through initiatives that focus on education, health, and community welfare, our members actively work to address societal issues and improve the quality of life for those around us. Our efforts range from focusing on social determinants of health and how they impact the Black community to mentoring young students and providing health screenings, all aimed at addressing the diverse needs of our community. These activities demonstrate our fraternity's commitment to being a positive force for change, emphasizing the importance of giving back and supporting those who need it most.

The Eta Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., proudly implements its robust **Educational Enrichment Program**, designed to foster academic excellence, character development, and holistic growth among students across Columbus, Ohio. Anchored in our commitment to addressing educational disparities, the program empowers youth to succeed by offering tailored initiatives that inspire intellectual curiosity, enhance critical thinking skills, and promote a lifelong love for learning.

Our programming is active in a diverse range of schools, each representing unique communities with vibrant student populations. These schools include **East Linden Elementary School, Linden STEM Academy, Windsor STEM Academy, Hamilton STEM Academy, Oakland Park Alternative Elementary School, North Linden Elementary School, Ohio Avenue Elementary School, Ridgeview Middle School, Linden-McKinley STEM Academy, Walnut Ridge High School, and Mifflin Middle School. By focusing on such a comprehensive list of institutions, Eta Nu Nu ensures its impact reaches a broad spectrum of students from elementary through high school.

Key components of the program include **"Chess for Success"**, which cultivates problem-solving and strategic thinking skills, and **"Assault on Literacy"**, which aims to boost reading proficiency and foster a love for literature. Experiential learning opportunities, such as educational field trips, provide students with real-world applications of classroom concepts. Additionally, the program integrates **STEM initiatives** to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—fields critical to future academic and career success.

The Educational Enrichment Program reflects the Eta Nu Nu Chapter's dedication to uplifting the community through impactful educational outreach. By partnering with schools, educators, and families, we continue to create meaningful pathways for success, equipping students with the skills and confidence they need to excel academically and beyond.
