  3. ABOUT ACT-SO ACT-SO (Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) is the major youth initiative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). ACT-SO provides a forum through which youth of African descent demonstrate academic, artistic and scientific prowess and expertise, thereby gaining the same recognition often only reserved for entertainers and athletes. ACT-SO is rooted in the firm conviction that all students can succeed and compete at the same or superior levels as their counterparts in classrooms, boardrooms and laboratories across this nation and abroad. ACT-SO is a year-long youth achievement program that begins in August of each year in 200 local communities nationwide. Students work with scholastic and cultural mentors from August to April to develop their projects and performances for the local ACT-SO competition. Local ACT-SO winners have an opportunity to compete at the national competition to earn scholarships and prizes. Students can select up to three competitions from a total of 32 offerings in STEM, Business, Humanities, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and Culinary Arts. Almost 300,000 young people have participated in the program since its inception.
