DELTA G.E.M.S.

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.

The Delta GEMS program meets monthly in the Wyandanch/Wheatley Heights area and is open to young female residents of Suffolk County. To learn more about the Delta GEMS Program in Suffolk County, please contact president@dstscac.org.
