Delta GEMS

Dr. Jeanne L. Noble
Delta G.E.M.S. Program
 (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully)

     Delta GEMS  is a natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful “Dr. Betty Shabaaz Delta Academy: Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow,” Delta Gems was created to “catch the dreams” of African American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 15-18. Delta GEMS provides the frame work to actualize those dreams through the performance of specific tasks that develop a “CAN DO” attitude. The goals for Delta GEMS are:

        • To instill the need to excell academically
        • To provide tools that enable girls to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success
        • To assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures in high school and beyond
        • To create compassion, caring, and community minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities

    The Delta GEMS framework is composed of five major components (Scholarship, Sisterhood, Show Me the Money, Service, and Infinitely Complete), forming a road map for college and career planning. Topics within the five major components are designed to provide interactive lessons and activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth.  Delta GEMS, like Delta Academy, is implemented by chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
