Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) Institute is an outgrowth and continuation of the Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy Program and was created to assist in facilitating the goals of adolescent African American girls ages 14-18.
The EMBODI (Empowering Males to Build Opportunities for Developing Independence) Program is designed to strengthen the efforts of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. with the support and action of other organizations on the plight of African American males.
Teen Lift was established as a national program in 1966. This program provides educational and travel experiences for participating youth. The goal is to help youth in the Queens community build their sense of pride, self-esteem, commitment in their community and to strive for higher education. Students participate in workshops and community service. Workshops cover life skills topics around health, political, cultural, educational, and economic awareness. Each year, the Queens Alumnae Chapter sponsors tours to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
PUBLIC SERVICE
Financial Fortitude was designed to help sorority members and members of the Queens community take a closer look at the various paths to attain personal wealth and financial security. This program helps participants to set goals, develop a financial plan, and put them to action.
INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS AND INVOLVEMENT
The International Awareness Committee serves as a bridge for the diaspora in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. This program provides support to BASICS International and assists with funding to schools in Ghana.
Physical and Mental Health's mission is to promote education, awareness, and accessibility of information regarding health issues that significantly impact the Queens community.
This national program was created in 1992 for the preservation and beautification of African American landmarks, monuments, and historic sites. The Queens Alumnae Chapter is a proud sponsor of the Lewis H. Latimer House, an African American landmark in the Queens community.
