Youth DevelopmentYMCA Achiever named National Hispanic Recognition Program ScAndresâ?? Curiel is proof the focusing on academics does pay off. Recently, Andresâ?? was inducted into the National Honor Society and the Mu Alpha Theta National Mathematics Honor Society. His academic success was also recognized by the College Board as a 2008-09 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) Scholar.
The Pine View High School senior is one of less than 5,000 students nationwide chosen for the honor. To obtain recognition as a Scholar, the student must be of Hispanic/Latino descent, have scored a minimum PSAT score for their region and achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
The NHRP was developed in 1983 with the purpose of identifying outstanding Hispanic/Latino high school students. In addition to similar academic standards, the National Honor Society selects members based on outstanding performance in the areas of leadership, character, citizenship and service.
Andresâ?? is involved in the YMCA Achieverâ??s Program and works the Membership desk at the Frank G. Berlin Branch of the Sarasota Family YMCA.
The YMCA Achievers Program is for middle and high school students. Participants must sign a contract to participate in program events and educational forums that focus on personal development, college preparation and cultural enrichment. A minimum 2.5 grade point average must be maintained throughout the school year. Those who would like to take part should call 955-8194 ext. 140 or 139.

Youth DevelopmentRotary, YMCA Welcome International ScholarThis school year, 16-year-old Vivian Chang is exploring the American way of life in addition to the regular studies of a high school student. The Taiwan native is attending SMA on a prestigious International Ambassadorial Rotary Scholarship sponsored by the Downtown Sarasota Rotary. The scholarship includes Vivian�s attendance at the Sarasota Military Academy for one year. In addition, the Sarasota Family YMCA has granted her a complimentary membership during her stay. Rotary member Lee Ann Chang joked that the YMCA membership would help Vivian keep off any extra weight that the American diet may allow the student.
According to The Rotary International, the scholarships are intended to further international understanding and friendly relations among people of different countries and geographical areas. These scholarships are funded by private grants to then be distributed through The Rotary Foundation and represent a continued faith that today�s Ambassadorial Scholars will be tomorrow's community and world leaders.

Kathleen K. Catlin Fund Awards YMCA Holiday Grant
The Community Foundation of Sarasota Countyâ??s Kathleen K. Catlin Fund recently gave a grant of $7,500.00 to the Sarasota Family YMCA for Christmas gifts for the children in foster care at the Sarasota Family YMCAâ??s annual Foster Angels Holiday Party. The Foster Angels Program distributes foster childrenâ??s wish lists to members of the community wishing to supply Christmas for a child. The grant will also be available to ensure that the specific material needs of children in foster care will be met throughout the year.
Foster Angelâ??s Holiday Party is sponsored by the Safe Children Coalition (SCC). The SCC is a collaboration between the Sarasota Family YMCA and many local community entities who together provide a continuum of child welfare services.
For information on how to obtain a childâ??s wish list or to make a monetary or present donation, please contact Linda at 941-371-4799 ext. 133.
