DELTA GEMS OVERVIEW
A natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy: Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Delta GEMS was created to catch the dreams of African-American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18. Delta GEMS provides the framework 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 in 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 program offers a road map for college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth. Delta GEMS, like Delta Academy, is implemented by chapters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Delta GEMS participants have the opportunity to define and “Discover their individual Brilliance.”

Delta GEMS Sole & Soul Event Thank You!
With grateful hearts, the Suffolk County Alumnae Chapter and the Nassau Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for your generosity and support of our Delta GEMS Sole & Soul community service collaboration.
Because of your donations, we packed 200 care bags and distributed over 600 socks and 200 gloves to adults in need. Our Delta GEMS participants not only learned the importance of giving back to those in need, but also enjoyed working together in the spirit of service.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this initiative such a meaningful success.
