Need a good way to explain to outside sources what APO is? The paragraph below contains some great points to help with just this. A big thanks to Melody Martin for developing this based on bits and pieces of the national website!

There are currently over 17,000 active members and more than 350,000 alumni. Students do graduate and move on with life experiences such as careers and family, but the deep sense of commitment to a cause, of knowing that volunteering for service to others helps to make a difference in people's lives, remains embedded in the hearts of APO members everywhere. At some point in their lives, these experiences translate into fostering better human relationships and more well-rounded communities. Members graduate and move on to become leaders in their chosen profession, community affairs and government. Alpha Phi Omega has parnerships with Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts USA, Campfire USA, America's Promise, USA Freedom Corp, America's Promise and USA Freedom Corp, and has won the President's Volunteer Service Award.
