About Sigma Beta Club

The National Sigma Beta Club Foundation was incorporated on June 1, 2005. It was organized to develop policies and procedures for the operation of Sigma Beta Clubs, the youth affiliate entity of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Our Sigma Beta Club members consist of young males between the ages of 8 and 18, and the organization is expressed to ensure that the goals and objectives of the Sigma Beta Clubs are implemented in an organized and unified method. 

  • Academic Enrichment & Mentoring

    Club members receive academic assistance and leadership development at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. This happens through one-on-one and group approaches to tutoring of Sigma Beta Club members and after-school and weekend tutoring by Alumni and Collegiate members in various academic and professional disciplines. Sigma Beta Clubs also develop partnerships with local institutions, including colleges and universities, community colleges, and trade schools.

  • Sigma Against Teenage Pregnancy Plus

    The SATAPP Program's primary focus is on providing Sigma Beta Club members with the tools they need to make smart choices about healthy lifestyles that will help them become responsible fathers later in life.

  • Job Training, Savings and Investment

    Club members increase their awareness of business ownership as well as the importance of saving and investing at an early age. Club members also learn about various professions via internships, job shadowing, and other avenues to visit job sites.

  • Childhood Obesity Initiative

    The Sigma Beta Club Foundation’s Child Obesity Initiative focuses on the mind, body, and spirit. The primary objective is reducing weight and reversing the poor health of adolescents at an early age through the following principles:


    • Stepping into shape
    • Eating healthy
    • Exercising daily
    • Knowing the obesity facts
    • Learning how to grow your own food
    • Self-esteem matters
    • Advocacy

  • Community Service & Enrichment Programs

    Sigma Beta Club members are required to conduct various community service projects. These may include but are not limited to serving the elderly, March of Dimes: March for Babies, Sickle Cell Centers, visiting children in hospitals, volunteering at their library, working with children with disabilities, cleaning up their neighborhood, etc.


    In addition to our organization-wide initiatives, local clubs also participate in a variety of enrichment programs that cover the following categories:

    • Cultural: art shows, plays, concerts, museums
    • Social: parties, parents’ day, cook-outs, movies
