Enrollments is now open for Delta Academy and Delta GEMS

Programs Overview 

The Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy was established under the leadership of 21st National President Marcia L. Fudge. The Delta Academy seeks to offer supervised and structured experiences that will help  participants grow to be productive citizens with high self-esteem and an appreciation for the demand of an increasingly Generation Z-focused society. Our overarching goal is to guide middle-school girls into womanhood with educational support and professional guidance that will teach them how to create opportunities for academic success, to enhance their decision-making and communication skills, to develop their abilities and talents, to compete in a global society, and  to become change agents in the transformations of their communities.

The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute’s purpose is to guide young ladies into womanhood with educational support and professional guidance. The goals for Delta GEMS (acronym for Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) are: To instill the need to excel 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 compassionate, caring, and community-minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities. The Delta GEMS program offers a road map for college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth. As a Delta GEMS participant, YOU have the opportunity to define and discover your individual brilliance.

Applications must be received by September 4, 2024. The committees will reach out to accepted youth participants after September 4, 2024.
