Education & Youth The Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy provides an opportunity for us to enrich and enhance the education of young women. Our primary goal is to prepare these young women for leadership by focusing on the cultivation and maintenance of relationships, scholarship in math, science, and technology, and by providing opportunities for public service. Target: Young women ages 11-14. The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute is an outgrowth and continuation of the Delta Academy program. Locally, we offer monthly modules for the participants with a focus to instill the need to excel academically, to assist in goal setting and planning for the future, and to actively involve these young women in service learning and community service projects. Target: Young women ages 14-18 (High School) The EMBODI (Empowering Males to Build Opportunities for Developing Independence) program utilizes monthly modules to focus our efforts on the plight of African-American males. Locally, we have a team of male mentors who help improve the social skills and life skills of young men.
