The Georgia State Organization was established in 1963 and incorporated
in 1980. Since that time Georgia, which comprises 41 chapters and
more than 1000 active members, has established itself as the largest and
most productive state organization within the 7th District. This
district also comprises the states of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.
Through its myriad of programs, hundreds of youth from throughout the
State of Georgia have received financial assistance, competed in the
annual state wide talent hunt program, and gone on to attend colleges
or universities throughout the state and this nation.
In 2001, the state organization established a nonprofit foundation to
help Omega better serve the communities in the state by allowing
individuals and corporations to make tax-deductible donations. This
non-profit entity of the state organization acts as the scholarship and
educational funding arm of the state organization. The foundation
positions the State Organization and Omega for the 21st
century to make an even greater impact in our communities.
The Georgia State Organization is an organization that recognizes the
positive achievement of others, is involved in the community through
blood drives, food drives, clothes drives, environmental and community
clean-up activities, and tutorial programs. We mentor disadvantaged young
males, we nurture the elderly, we assist in providing housing for
disadvantaged persons, and we raise funds for scholarships and
educational foundations. The State Organization comprises dedicated
Omega Men committed to helping the disadvantaged improve their quality
of life by uplifting the less fortunate and providing hope wherever and
whenever we can. In Omega “We Continue To Lift As We Climb.”
