March 11, 2021 (San Diego) - A group of 36 residents of San Diego County graduated last month from the “Academia de Alguacil,” the first-of-its-kind Spanish language sheriff’s academy sponsored by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
 
Delivered virtually via Zoom and entirely in Spanish, the five-week program was designed as a relationship-building program to help provide equity in educating one of the county’s most vulnerable populations about law enforcement procedures and available resources in San Diego County.

READER'S EDITORIAL: ARE SAN DIEGO COUNTY YMCA'S GRADUALLY LOSING THEIR HISTORICAL MISSION?

 

"Why did San Diego County YMCA's board vote in 2013 to have all branches in our region stop issuing affordable youth memberships? Under the new policy, instead of paying just $80 to $100 a year for a child 12 or younger to use the Y’s facilities, users must purchase a family membership at a cost of about $1,000 per year. Are they really saying that if kids' parents aren't interested or can't afford to join, then the Y isn't interested in the kids?" -- Joel Harrison, PhD, MPH
