The Delta GEMS (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) program, for young women ages 15 – 18, builds upon learning from Delta Academy with additional goals including instilling the need to excel academically; providing tools that will help girls enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success; and assist in goal setting and planning for high school, college and beyond.
Monthly sessions are held every second Saturday morning. There is no cost to participate in either program, but interested candidates must complete an application which can be found online at www.newhavenalumnae.org and attend orientation on Friday, October 21, 2016 at 6 pm at Hill Regional Career High School, 140 Legion Avenue, New Haven.
