The Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy is a national initiative coordinated on the local level to support the development of young females (ages 11-14). The goals of Delta Academy are to help young girls avoid the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. Our chapter provides monthly activities and field trips with trained volunteers to augment educational development through engagement in STEM activities, personal development and cultural activities, leadership opportunities, and public service opportunities. The program is designed to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st Century. 

Delta GEMS is an expansion program of Delta Academy that is geared toward development of adolescent girls (ages 14-18). The program aims to provide a framework for achieving goals and dreams through the development of a “can do” attitude and important academic and life skills. The program seeks to grow compassionate, caring, and community-minded young women. Our chapter provides monthly activities and field trips with trained volunteers to focus on goal-setting, career-planning, road-mapping for college and beyond, individual growth, and self-reflections.
