The NAACP's Academic Cultural Technological Scientific Olympics provides a forum through which youth of African descent demonstrate academic, artistic and scientific prowess and expertise. Each year, youth are offered the opportunity to receive an all expense paid trip to the National ACT-SO competition by winning a gold at the local competition, held in partnership with the City of Eugene at the Hult Center. 

The deadline for youth grades 8-12  to sign up is January 30. This year, the national competition is in Detroit Michigan.

For more information, call 541-484-1119, email actso@naacplanecounty.org, or stop by the Eugene-Springfield NAACP office at 330 High St. Find out more about ACT-SO at the national NAACP website.
