The Dr. Betty Shabazz Delta Academy – provides an opportunity for chapters to collaborate with or work independently on education programs for young women between the ages of 11 and 14. The Portsmouth Alumnae Chapter models the 5-point program, focusing on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related curriculum to mentor, education, and deliver service learning to our participants. Activities such as self-esteem workshops, STEM, the annual Kwanzaa presentation, the career speakers’ bureau, our mommy and me tea (etiquettes workshop), and College Tours help young women develop the foundational attributes necessary to excel both personally and professionally.
Leading Ladies – Leading Ladies is a leadership program for young ladies who wish to strengthen their emotional, social, and academic growth and development. Committed participation in this program will develop soft skills that help build confidence, communication skills, work ethic, leadership, team work, interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills and adaptability. The young ladies make new friendships and find commonalities with others which creates a sisterhood that encourages them to interact and express themselves with others in an empathetic and compassionate manner.
