ACT-SO

The NAACP ACT-SO program saw 512 qualified entrants from 89 NAACP branches competing at the convention in Boston. Medalists in 33 categories were recognized on July 29.

As the NAACP’s national convention comes to Boston, teens from across the country will show off their skills in arts and science in the organization’s youth competition. The Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics, or ACT-SO, lets young people compete for college scholarships and other prizes.
