Welcome to SpeLA
Our Chapter

A Los Angeles home for every Spelman woman.

The Los Angeles chapter of the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College β€” affectionately known as β€œSpeLA” β€” brings sisters together across class years, careers, and neighborhoods.

Together we keep the spirit of Spelman alive on the West Coast: gathering in sisterhood, investing in students from our city, and serving the communities we call home.

What We Do

Sisterhood. Scholarship. Service.

Three commitments guide everything SpeLA does β€” from brunches and homecoming gatherings to scholarships and volunteer days across the city.
