Ricardo has worked in programs for the benefit of the migrant community, particularly with Latinos. He has volunteered in organizations, such as UMOS in Milwaukee, WI and other groups created in schools and churches.

When he moved to Yakima, Ricardo found he could continue to do social work. After attending a meeting with OneAmerica, he identified strongly with the mission and goals of the organization.

Today, Ricardo is joyful to be a part of OneAmerica and is committed to working with the migrant community of the Yakima Valley to ensure they have the necessary tools and adequate information to have a life worthy of respect and for families to be united.
