Century City Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has a proud and rich
history of serving the community since its chartering on March 22, 1981. Our programs
are aligned with the national organization’s Five Point Program Thrust, which includes:
- Educational Development
- Economic Development
- Political Awareness and Involvement
- International Awareness and Involvement
- Physical and Mental Health
We routinely assess our programs to ensure that they are meeting our objectives as well
as the needs of the community. A continuous emphasis has been on youth development
and empowerment with specific programs as follows:
- Delta GEMS (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) – A mentoring program for
girls 14-18 years of age promoting leadership and academic excellence.
- McAlister School – A program for pregnant teens encouraging continued education and
personal development including career, family planning, and parenting skills.
- Excel Family Intervention – A program providing basic life skills for young people
preparing to be emancipated from the foster care system.
- Live Theatre for Children – A program designed to expose young children to the
performing arts.
Additionally, our health initiatives are both internally and externally focused. Healthy
Lifestyles/Summit VI addresses the physical and mental health of our members and the
community. In particular, this program promotes awareness of health issues that impact
women of African descent at disproportionate rates.
Century City also awards scholarships to women pursuing graduate degrees in fields
where African American women are underrepresented. Political and social awareness
are manifested as relevant social action issues in our city, our state, and our nation are
addressed during Delta Days at City Hall, Delta Days in Sacramento, and Delta Days in
the Nation’s Capital, respectively.
We encourage you to visit the website frequently for specific information about our
public service programs as well as fundraising efforts to support these programs.
