Bea Salazar leads a crusade against hunger, illiteracy, domestic strife, parental neglect, drugs, violence, gangs, school dropouts and poverty. Through donations, fundraisers and the help of invaluable volunteers, Bea's Kids has managed to help many families get through many difficult situations. The concept focuses primarily in academic development and self-esteem building offered in an atmosphere of positive reinforcement, love, and caring. Providing the children with other basic needs such as nutrition and clothing is vitally important. Bea's Kids is aimed at helping parents as well as children.
Family needs as a whole are addressed.
Prevention and intervention programs were designed to help the family prevent problems before they occur. Bea has shown that love and concern combined with initiative can pull a community together and yield tremendous results. The various programs are available year around for all underprivileged children and parents in the community. Staff Staff consists exclusively of volunteers from local churches, schools, businesses, and communities. The director is on call 24 hours to provide or facilitate emergency services.
