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. Delta Academy provides an opportunity for local chapters to enrich and enhance the education that our young teens receive in public schools across the nation. Specifically, we augment their scholarship in math, science, and technology, their opportunities to provide service in the form of leadership through service learning 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.

 

Delta Academy program sessions are held monthly beginning in September (orientation session) and ending in June (recognition program). Enrichment sessions include community service, self-esteem, etiquette, and financial responsibility.
