Striving to make our community better

The Chapter regularly supports local Boys Scouts of America troops in providing scoutmasters as well as financial assistance. Lastly, the Leadership Development Institute recognizes the best of brightest youth in Cobb County and provides a forum to build a strong foundation of leadership for the next generation. At the local level, the professional makeup of the Brotherhood has led Omicron Mu Lambda to create a comprehensive Business and Economic Development program. In the implementation of this program, the Chapter regularly examines new ideas and works to perfect existing methods that can lead to economic and financial independence for the Chapter as well as for individual Brothers and their families.

Other local projects such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, Founder’s Day, Christmas with the Deltas, and Y.O.U.T.H. (Young Organizers United To Help) are other examples of the innovative and unique approaches used by Omicron Mu Lambda to reach and impact the community. The Henry Arthur Callis Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which supports and funds a wide variety of charitable, civic, and educational projects in the Cobb County community. The programs supported by the foundation focus on teenage pregnancy prevention, youth leadership development, and high school/college preparation. Through the Henry Arthur Callis Scholarship program, high school seniors and college undergraduates are regularly considered for tuition assistance via academic and service scholarships.
