Zeta Pearl is dedicated to empowering communities by providing resources, education, and support to those in need. We believe that everyone, especially our youth, deserves access to a better life, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality. Our programs and events are designed to partner with local organizations to address the unique needs of marginalized communities in a consistent manner. Providing leadership development and resources to youth and their families creates a sense of value and inclusion. In addition, each year, we raise funds to provide academic scholarships to high school seniors in our service area.
Zeta Pearl has programming designed to help individuals analyze strengths and weaknesses, set personal or professional goals, boost confidence, and excel in school or career.
Because Zeta Pearl believes everyone has potential, those who demonstrate positive impact in our local communities are identified, acknowledged and encouraged to participate in our leadership development activities.
As skills increase and their efforts are recognized, we invite them to share that knowledge with others at our programs and events.
Zeta Pearl believes that our youth play an important role in our community. Through education and volunteering they can help create a more beneficial society. The Zeta Pearl Scholarship recognizes graduating high school seniors for their scholastic achievements and community service.
