Delta GEMS
Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute — GEMS: Jewels In Our Galaxy is a natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly effective Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy: Embracing Girl Power on Purpose. The goals for Delta GEMS are to ensure that our young women ages 14-18 achieve academic excellence, are equipped with goal setting and planning skills for success in high school and beyond and learn and engage in community involvement and service.
​
The GEMS curriculum is developed based on Delta's 5-Point Programmatic framework and includes sessions on financial management and building wealth, career exploration, STEM,
leadership skills, communications, mental health,alcohol and drugs, social media, and human trafficking. Building Self-esteemand confidence are an underlying aspect of the Chapter program. The GEMS offers college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth. The program provides the framework for putting young women on a path to actualize their dreams and their potential through the performance of specific tasks that develop a CAN DO attitude. There are also opportunities to involve parents.
