PGCAC Delta GEMS (formerly known as Delteens)

Awarded the 2006 National Exemplary Program Honor for Delta GEMS at the 48th National Convention of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS (GROWING AND EMPOWERING MYSELF SUCCESSFULLY) Institute represents a natural outgrowth and extension for the continuation of the acclaimed Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy and its associated theme, Catching the Dreams of Tomorrow.  

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.  The Delta GEMS Program, officially renamed The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute, continues to spotlight teenage girls between the ages of 14-18 in grades 9 through 12, who have not reached their full academic potential.


The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute, a community service project of the Prince George's County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., centers on developing strong, confident and respectful young ladies by striving to prepare them to take active roles in their success and in society at-large.  

These objectives are accomplished with a focus on:

  • Young women who have potential, but need guidance, support and skills to achieve success;

  • Young women who are interested in developing leadership skills;

  • Young women who are actively pursuing college/and or career options;

  • Young women who need encouragement and support in pursuit of higher learning;

  • Young women identified by schools, churches, youth groups and/or former Delta Academy participants

The Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute activities center around leadership, community outreach, public service, cultural awareness, dealing with peer pressure, image building and field trips.  In 2008 - 2009, the Institute participated in the PGCAC Feed the Hungry, the PGCAC Regional Day of Service (Take a Stand Against Domestic Violence) and the PGCAC Youth Conference (Define Your Destiny 2009).  

 The program serves as a motivational strategy to inspire and encourage African-American teenage girls with the ultimate goal of increasing their knowledge and awareness of issues affecting women of color. The outcomes of the program will be accomplished through a variety of workshops to include:

Scholarship (Academic Excellence)

Sisterhood (Self Esteem, Health Awareness, and Leadership)

Financial Awareness (Show Us the Money)

Service (Social Responsibility through Community Service)

Infinitely Complete (Rites of Passage)
