Today the South Florida Science Museum announced the launch of Blue Star Museums, a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 700 museums across America to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families now through Labor Day.

“I’m thankful for this, I’m thankful for you,” said program coordinator Gloria Scott during a NULITES celebration meeting Thursday. “I don’t consider this work, I consider it a passion and when you love what you do, you don’t call it work,” Gloria explained.
As their mentor, Gloria was honored as “Caring Adult of the Year.”
“All I can remember is one of the kids saying ‘that’s you get up!’ And I sat there for a few minutes before it really sunk in….I feel privileged to impart something in these children that they will remember.”
For the past six years Gloria has been a driving force, pushing the students to excel in education, leadership, and community service. “The National Urban League NULITES program is a arm of the school, the home, the community…We’re filling in the gaps.”
“We nurture them, I always tell them we’re a family…If one succeeds we all succeed,” Gloria said.
NULITES meet monthly on the 1st Thursday of each month starting at 6:00 pm at the Urban League. Dinner is provided. To join you must be ages 10-18 and complete the NULITES application.
