Focus on Youth Focus
As the paper has reported, President Bush will honor a High Point volunteer and Youth Focus Inc. Tuesday as part of his visit to Greensboro.
Donna Hudson Turner of High Point will receive the President's Volunteer Service Award to her 25 years of service to Hospice of the Piedmont, even after suffering a stroke.
Youth Focus, meanwhile, is a nonprofit that operates several agencies aimed at at-risk youth.
In the interest of full disclosure, I know so much about Youth Focus because I served on its board for several years.
I also volunteered with one of the agencies under its umbrella, Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The president will recognize its Mentoring of Children of Prisoners program.
Good for Youth Focus.
It is a well-run, well-led organization that makes a significant difference in the lives of young people.
The president has made a very wise pick.
