Anti-Racism Guide : Support at Northeastern

JDOAAI offers several community programs to support both students and the broader Northeastern community. Programs are intended to support students and alumni, increase local and global awareness and connectedness, and bring together the broader Northeastern community.

JDOAAI offers several important services to the community. Their services are designed to support students in achieving academic excellence, to assist them in making healthy adjustments to living and participating in academia, and in building community. They include the Excel Grant Program, community service, and more.

The Counseling component of JDOAAI provides a wide-range of services to students of African origin. The services are designed to enhance students’ academic, career, and personal development. JDOAAI's goal is to encourage students in a process which will enable them to express their feelings; to evaluate and resolve problems, to explore options; to formulate short-term and long-term goals; to make solid decisions and develop self-assessment, self-advocacy, assertiveness and leadership skills. They encourage students to strive for academic excellence and to participate in extra-curricular activities that will enrich their overall college experience.
