🌟 Invest in Her Future Today 🌟

Every girl deserves the chance to see herself as a leader, a scholar, and a young woman with unlimited potential. That’s exactly what our Delta Academy (ages 11–14) and Delta GEMS (ages 14–18) provide:

✅ A safe space to learn, grow, and dream boldly
✅ Mentorship that prepares them for the future
✅ Opportunities to build confidence, explore careers, and embrace sisterhood

Just as last year, we’re opening the doors in Aurora, IL and Bellwood, IL for another powerful year of youth programming.

✨ Parents, your first step is simple but essential: attend the Mandatory Youth Parent Meeting & Risk Management Training (virtual via Zoom). Choose one date:

📅 Sept. 24, 2025 | 7:00–9:00 PM
📅 Sept. 25, 2025 | 7:00–9:00 PM

Your presence ensures your daughter’s participation in 2025–2026 programming—and positions her for a year of growth, discovery, and empowerment.
