Delta GEMS
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 participants to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success;
-
To assist particpants with proper goal setting and planning for their futures, high school and beyond; and
-
To create compassionate, caring and community minded individuals by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.
The Delta GEMS program offers a road map for college and career planning and conducts activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth.
If you are between the ages of 14-18 and would like to participate in our Delta GEMS program, please complete an application.
