Emily K Center Partners Honored with “Sammie” Awards

Lauren Gardner, Chief Operating Officer

After a long day of school and an intense few hours working hard at the Emily K Center many of our students also participate in evening programming at the Center.  Hand-on science and engineering education, mentor programs, and sports all fill our evenings and add important character and leadership development to our students’ experiences here.  However, we could never do this on our own.  We rely heavily on partner programs that provide quality curriculum, volunteers, and outcomes. 

This past Tuesday we were extremely proud of the fact that two of the groups we partner with were recognized as 2010 “Sammie” Award winners during the annual Samuel Dubois Cook Society Award Dinner.  The Girls Club was recognized for their seven years of committed service to mentoring middle school girls and Professor Gary Ybarra was recognized for the array of work he does in the community including the FEMMES program that teaches math and science to girls at the Center.

Congratulations to both our partner programs!
