Delta G.E.M.S. stands for Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully and was a brand new initiative implemented last year from Delta Sigma Theta National Headquarters. A natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful "Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy: "Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow", Delta G.E.M.S. was created to "catch the dreams" of African American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18 and/or grades 9 - 12. Delta G.E.M.S. is designed to serve as an outgrowth and continuation of the Delta Academy Program. Delta G.E.M.S. provides the frame work to actualize those dreams through performance of specific tasks that develop a "CAN DO" attitude.
 

The goals for Delta G.E.M.S. are:

• instill the need to excel academically;

• provide tools that enable girls to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success;

• assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures-high school and beyond;

• create compassionate, caring and community minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.
