Educational Development

Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy

Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Women for the 21st Century

The Delta Academy was created out of an urgent sense that bold action was needed to save our young females (ages 11-14) from the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures. The Delta Academy provides an opportunity for Delta chapters to enrich and enhance the education that young teens receive in public schools across the nation.

Specifically, the Delta Academy augments their scholarship in math, science, and technology; their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership through service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation service learning, and their sisterhood, defined as the cultivation and maintenance of relationships. A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st century.

Young ladies involved in the Delta Academy meet every month with members of BMAC to cover topics such as self-esteem, career exploration, how to be of service to others, and how to maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute  

Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully

The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute was a natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy.  The Delta GEMS program honors the 12th National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Dr. Jeanne L. Noble, a legendary pioneer in the field of education.

It was created to catch the dreams of African American at-risk adolescent girls (ages 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 of the 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; and- To create compassionate, caring, and community minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.

EMBODI

EMBODI is designed to refocus the efforts of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc. with the
support and action of other major organizations, on the plight of African-American males (ages 14-18). Both informal and empirical data suggests that the vast majority of African-American males, in this age group continues to be in crisis and is not reaching its fullest potential educationally, socially and emotionally.

EMBODI is designed to address these issues through dialogue and recommendations for change and action. Participants will be exposed to a variety of academic, cultural, and personal development activities. These activities will be delivered via a town hall meeting, workshops, and/or teen leadership summits.

Understanding that organized collective action can achieve greater positive impact, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is proud to join other service-oriented organizations and advocates who are actively engaged in uplifting African-American males.

On May 18, 2010, we held our EMBODI Kick-Off Assembly at Franklin Square Elementary Middle School. Male students from the elementary and middle school levels listened to a presentation on Gang Awareness. This session marked the beginning of BMAC’s male mentoring program.
