    Roberto Rodríguez: A Daily Inspiration for Alisal Youth

    Born in Michoacán, México, Roberto Rodriguez-Flores came to Salinas at age 7, his father and grandfather part of the Bracero Program for temporary workers to labor in the fields. Following his graduation from Alisal High School he faced a crossroads — work in the fields cutting lettuce or attend San Jose State. He jumped at the chance to enroll in the liberal studies program at SJSU. After earning his degree and teaching credential, he came back to teach in the Alisal District at Sanborn Elementary in 1995, just before the school changed its name to Jesse G. Sánchez Elementary. Rodriguez quickly rose through the ranks, earning his administrator’s credential by studying evenings, and becoming principal at Jesse G. Sánchez, giving back to the community that gave him so much. He’s now the principal at Oscar Loya Elementary in Salinas.

A 20-year comedy veteran and road warrior, Barcena brings laughs and insights all over the world, including many shows for the troops stationed abroad. He has appeared on many TV shows, including “Moesha” and “The Wayans Brothers,” and he was chosen to be the host of the popular SI-TV production “Latino Laugh Festival — The Show.”

    Jason Ludwig: Helping Underprivileged Youth Through Basketball

    Proving that great coaches do more than blow whistles and plan strategy, Jason Ludwig strives to make an even greater impact off the court. As an assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Santa Clara, Ludwig has helped the program to five winning records and coached 11 all-conference players. But it’s off the court where he’s really had an impact, especially when it comes to underprivileged youth. Ludwig co-founded the Coaches Social at the Final Four, a premier event geared toward networking hundreds of coaches across the nation. Ludwig is president and founder of the Latino Association of Basketball Coaches, which provides support, education and networking opportunities to Latino coaches worldwide. In 2005, Ludwig created JL Hoops Camp, to give youth from low socio-economic environments a free basketball camp  in his hometown of Montebello (East Los Angeles).
