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 Delta 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, and their sisterhood,
defined
as the cultivation service learning, and their sisterhood, 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.
