Joseph Agiato, San Francisco YMCA's Youth Chance High Gets Boost from Alabama Law School, ABA

12.17.07 (2:29 am) [edit]

Joseph Agiato, San Francisco YMCA's Youth Chance High Gets Boost from Alabama Law School, ABA San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 4, 2007 -- Youth Chance High School, a program of the San Francisco YMCA, will be receiving an upgraded computer lab donated by The University of Alabama Law School, four organizations within the American Bar Association, and the Bar Association of San Francisco. The project honors H. Thomas Wells, Jr., who becomes the ABA's President-Elect at its Annual Meeting in San Francisco on August 13. Wells is a 1975 graduate of the Law School. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the computer lab will take place August 11, at 3:30 p.m. at the Embarcadero YMCA, 169 Steuart Street, San Francisco. "Tommy and Jan Wells have been dedicated volunteers in the YMCA for 30 years. Tommy recently completed a three-year term as Chair of the Metropolitan Birmingham YMCA. Rather than have a cocktail party, we felt this would be the ideal way to honor Tommy for his achievement," said Dean Kenneth Randall, of The University of Alabama Law School, which organized the project. "His commitment to public service continues as he prepares to lead the ABA. We are proud that he is our alum." Wells, a founding member of Maynard, Cooper & Gale in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Huntsville, was chair of the ABA's House of Delegates from 2002 to 2004. Tommy and Jan Wells have two children who are also attorneys: Lynlee Wells Palmer (Alabama class of 2001) and H. Thomas "Trey" Wells III, (Alabama class of 2005), both of whom practice in Birmingham. The computer lab serves the Embarcadero YMCA's Youth Chance High School, a tuition-free private school where students who have been referred by principles, social workers, friends and probation officers come to study for their GED's and prepare for their futures. The computer lab also will serve the YMCA's Youth & Government Program, which immerses young people in learning about democracy through role-playing and researching the lawmaking process, studying how government works, and drafting legislation. The program concludes with participants visiting the state capitol in Sacramento for five days of model legislature and court. The computer lab upgrade was made possible through contributions of time and resources by the University of Alabama Law School; the ABA Young Lawyer's Division, and the ABA sections of Litigation, Business Law, Tort Trial & Insurance Practice; the Bar Association of San Francisco; the Wells Family; and incoming ABA President William H. Neukom.
