The programs of Push America empower and motivate members of Pi Kappa Phi to get involved in improving the lives of people with disabilities as well as their own. These programs provide an excellent service experience where Pi Kappa Phis can see firsthand the impact they are making in the lives of people with disabilities.

Servant Leadership
Push America Academy – Members of Pi Kappa Phi attend leadership conferences where they are educated on disability topics and on how they can play an active role in improving the lives of people with disabilities in their communities.

Disability Awareness – Members of Pi Kappa Phi engage in a variety of events tailored to their campus to increase disability awareness. Ranging from wheelchair basketball to “Empathy Training Dinners” these opportunities not only provide educational opportunities simulating what it “might be like” to live with a disability, but create an open forum for issues faced by students with disabilities.

Volunteerism – Pi Kappa Phi chapters across the country are becoming more involved in their communities through volunteer relationships with local organizations supporting people with disabilities. Their understanding of people with disabilities is greatly increased through their volunteer relationships. There is also an opportunity for chapters to provide grant funding, through Push America, to the organization. This is another way for Pi Kappa Phis to see how their fund raising is directly impacting the lives of people with disabilities.

Fundraising – Pi Kappa Phis across the nation have collectively raised over $10 million in support of the various programs Push America offers. Chapters sponsor sporting events, raffles, disability speaking presentations, amongst many other eye-catching events on campus to further their fundraising efforts.
