Gwinnett County Alumnae Chapter (“GCAC”) Youth Initiative Programs (Delta Academy, Delta GEMS and EMBODI) are designed to target youth in our service area. GCAC services the Gwinnett County area of Georgia (except Loganville, Centerville and Snellville) and shares Lilburn with Stone Mountain-Lithonia Alumnae Chapter.
Participant selection criteria include young men and women who have potential but need guidance, support, skills and encouragement to achieve success and are interested in developing leadership skills. Delta Academy is designed for young women who show interest in community action and social change and interest in non-traditional STEM careers. Delta GEMS and EMBODI is designed for young women and men who are actively pursuing college and/or career options. Selections will be made based upon the unique needs of Gwinnett County.
