DASA TV - Club members learn the process and skills of television production directly from production professionals, such as stage presence, cameras, lighting and editing. Members work with high-tech equipment and help produce a live television show that airs every day in the Dearborn Middle School.
Student Council - Students form a student government in which they meet once a week to discuss and implement action on issues facing students at the Dearborn Middle School. The council is aimed at developing leadership skills, team building, addressing lack of student involvement in school, self esteem issues, and respect for authority.
Learning for Life - Boston Minuteman Council - Club members promote social awareness and learn to problem solve effectively. Members also learn the value of goal setting and critical thinking.

Supported by an anonymous donor, the DELTAS office has partnered with the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley to pilot this program in two schools: the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School and the Dearborn Middle School.
