Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute
|Growing Empowering Myself Successfully|

A natural outgrowth and expansion for the continuation of the highly successful “Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta GEMS Institute”, Delta GEMS was created to “catch the dreams” of African American at-risk, adolescent girls aged 14-18. Delta GEMS provides the framework to actualize those dreams through the performance of specific tasks that develop a “CAN DO” attitude.
The goals for Delta GEMS are:

- To instill the need to excel academically;
- To provide tools that enable girls to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success;
- To assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures—high school and beyond; and
- To create compassionate, caring, and community minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.

The Delta GEMS framework is composed of five major components (
Scholarship, Sisterhood, Show Me the Money, Service, and Infinitely Complete), forming a road map for college and career planning. Topics within the five major components are designed to provide interactive lessons and activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth.
Our meetings emphasize exposure to higher academics, performing arts, sciences, self-esteem building and health awareness
