The Afro-Academic, Cultural Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) is a major youth initiative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Founded in 1978, by the late author and journalist, Vernon Jarrett, ACT-SO provides a forum through which minority youth can demonstrate the same prowess, expertise and recognition often only reserved for entertainers and athletes. The NAACP's Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) is a year long achievement program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African American high school students. More than 260,000 young people have participated from the program since its inception. Workshop Dates:
