ACT-SO YOUTH

The Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) is a year-long enrichment program designed to recruit, motivate, and encourage high academics and cultural achievement among high school students. There are 32 categories of competition in the sciences (STEM), humanities, and performing and visual arts in which students can compete to qualify for the National ACT-SO Competition in July.

If you have any questions, want to serve as a mentor to these students, or learn more about next year's competition,
