Alum Richard Salas Named Northern Sierra Big Brother of the Year

MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT (PLACERVILLE) -- Salas studied political science at San Francisco State and emphasizes the importance of education. He has taken his Littles to the Folsom Lake College–El Dorado Center, which is very close to where the kids live, so they can see it is an option.

“Richard goes above and beyond to organize experiences that will inspire his Littles,” said Dawn Luddy, program manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Sierra. “For example, he arranged for the boys to meet an engineer and get a VIP tour of the Intel Folsom Campus.”
