KidWorks Volunteer Of The Month: Omar Salazar

A dozen years ago, Omar Salazar’s mother, Maria, learned about KidWorks from a family friend in their central Santa Ana neighborhood. Soon afterward, Omar was enrolled as a KidWorks preschool student.

Fast-forward to 2021 and Omar—now a junior at Mater Dei High School—arrives every Monday and Tuesday afternoon at our Dan Donahue Center to tutor students during after school programs.

KidWorks is especially grateful to everyone who made November’s Foundation for Success luncheon such a meaningful way to empower our proven after school programs.

Over $750,000 was raised during the Nov. 8 event, and those funds are already at work helping over 1,300 students in grades preschool through high school to excel academically, develop their leadership skills, grow spiritually and explore their artistic talents.
