A top priority in all Clubs, programs in this core area help members succeed in school and apply their knowledge and skills to daily challenges.Through activities that are educational and engaging, our members gain the strength they need to achieve their goals.
Power Hour
For one hour before other programming begins, members receive assistance with homework and/or tutoring. Students learn to view studying and academic achievement as a daily responsibility.
Standards of Learning
An interactive program offered at Virginia Clubs in which elementary school children are tutored and prepared for the state’s Standards of Learning standardized tests.
Smart Tutor
Funded by a grant from the Freddie Mac Foundation, this computer-based tutoring program specifically designed for elementary school students targets reading and math skills.
Job Ready
Teen members are coached to develop the tools and skills they need to prepare for the job market, including resume preparation and mock interviews.
For five years, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. members tutored children for Virginia’s standardized SOL tests.
"Many students have difficulty with standardized tests, but they’re a reality of life. We prepare the children for them, and come back every year to see the children pass, advance, and return to say thanks. We know we’ve helped to make their lives better."
–Kyla Sadler & Program Leader Edith Romaine, Delta Sigma Theta
