Description
June is National Safety Month and the Community Youth Athletic Center in National City is working to help kids stay safe.
Volunteers and coaches train at-risk youth, as part of the center’s boxing program.
“Our gym focuses on boxing. But the truth is, it's much more than that,” said Border Patrol agent Edgar Sandoval at a news conference Thursday.
Sandoval volunteers his time at the athletic center, training kids in boxing and teaching them lessons in life.
“Once they're here, they build a family or build relationships. We're able to integrate them with law enforcement and show the positive sides of policing.” said Sandoval.
Keeping kids safe means keeping them away from drugs, fentanyl in particular, according to San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan.
