Delta GEMS (Growning
and Empowering Myself Successfully)
was created to “catch the
dreams” of African American
at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18,
a mission embodied by Delta's own,
Dr. Betty Shabazz. 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 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—high
school and beyond; and
-
To
create compassionate, 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.

County, please contact gems@dstscac.org.
