The Delta Academy was created in 1996 to support the academic and personal growth of young African-American girls (ages 11-14). The threat of academic failure, low self-esteem, and uncertain futures has crippled the dreams of young African-American women, and this program is designed to enrich and enhance the education of young teens across the nation. Program concentrations include math, science, technology, and leadership through service learning, with the primary goal to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st century.

It is the policy of the Wilmington (NC) Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated (“Delta”) to protect the confidentiality of its youth participants and their families. The Chapter will only share information about participants and their families with other Delta chapter members assigned to assist with youth initiative programs on a “need to know basis” and who have completed risk management training and a criminal background check.
