Welcoming Star Celebratory Dinner

The Welcoming Redwood City Working Group in collaboration with Redwood City Together hopes you will join us for a celebratory dinner for this year's Welcoming Stars: José Luis Aguirre with CARON and the YMCA's Safety Around Water program, accepted by Andres Romero! Come celebrate these incredible people and learn more about their work while enjoying dinner and dessert.

José Luis' work at CARON has been instrumental in fostering trust and mutual understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Office in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks. They have conducted educational workshops, academies, and classes in local schools, libraries, and the community center, covering topics like safety, legal rights, parenting, mental health, among others. He is eager to serve others and is passionate about working with the immigrant community.

The Sequoia YMCA's Safety Around Water Program served 160 children from low-income backgrounds about how to be safe in the water. The aquatics programs support the YMCA's belief that water safety should be practiced, emphasized, and understood by parents and children alike to keep summer free of accidents, unnecessary risks, and preventable deaths. By including daily parent education sessions, they empowered not only the kids but also the adults responsible for their safety.
