Our Mission
Delta Academy and Delta GEMS are mentoring programs that serves girls of ages 11-18. Delta Academy “Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow, Preparing Young Ladies for the Future is a program that started in 1996. It offers mentoring and educational learning opportunities for at-risk young ladies of the ages of 11-14.
Our Programs
Soror Ray explained to the audience how she and her committee members work month by month to expose our girls to leadership, self-esteem, financial literacy, etiquette, cultural enrichment, and much more. Upon completing middle school grades, young ladies enter the Delta GEMS Program (Growing and Inspiring Myself Successfully). This program provides a framework to actualize dreams and goals by instilling a need to excel academically and assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures in high school and beyond.
