ABOUT DELTA GEMS

GEMS is a natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful “Dr. Betty Shabaaz Delta Academy: Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow”, Delta GEMS was created to “catch the dreams” of African American high school aged girls 14-18. Delta GEMS provides the frame work to actualize those dreams through performance of specific tasks that develop a “CAN DO” attitude.

The Delta GEMS framework is composed of five major components which include:

  • Scholarship
  • Sisterhood
  • Show Me the Money
  • Service
  • Infinitely Complete

This framework forms 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.

PURPOSE
