Erika Salas
Erika, a mother of three wonderful young adults, embodies a spirit of service that has defined her life's journey. Hailing from Costa Rica, she arrived in the USA at the age of 17, carrying with her the cultural richness and resilience that would shape her path. Throughout her life, Erika has worn many hats – a teacher, an Ayurvedic practitioner, a birth worker – each role a testament to her dedication to nurturing and empowering others. For fourteen years, Erika poured her heart and soul into Little Cricket Academy, a holistic preschool and daycare she owned and ran.
What inspired Erika to embark on this journey with COPAL was a transformative encounter her son had with a mentor. At 15 years old, her son was struggling, teetering on the edge of a life marked by bad choices and missed opportunities. This mentor's intervention changed everything – her son found purpose, stayed off the streets, and flourished academically. Witnessing this profound impact ignited a fire within Erika, compelling her to extend that same lifeline to others through COPAL.
Through her involvement with COPAL, Erika hopes to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives, find their voices, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. She sees COPAL's work as a beacon of hope for system-impacted individuals, offering pathways to redemption, healing, and opportunity.
