Delta GEMS
(Growing & Empowering Myself Successfully)
The Delta GEMS is a natural outgrowth and expansion that encourages the continuation of the highly successful Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy. GEMS was created to catch the dreams of African-American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18. Delta GEMS provides the framework to actualize the inner ambitions through the performance of specific tasks that develop a “CAN DO” attitude. Specifically, the GEMS program provides a road map for college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth to define themselves in the changing world.

Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character, to make the world a better place. This is done through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience – a collection of engaging, challenging and fun activities like earning badges, going on cultural field trips, selling cookies, exploring science, getting outdoors and doing community service projects. Girls are introduced to new experiences and helped to unleash their skills and abilities to help them reach their full potential.
The Baltimore Alumnae Chapter’s Girl Scouts troop leaders address the lack of leadership skills, exposure and community service opportunities among elementary, middle and high school girls in Baltimore City.
