Raymond Belardes III

Hello, my name is Raymond Belardes, I'm 36 years old. I grew up on the Rincon Indian Reservation and now reside on the San Pasqual Indian Reservation With my beautiful wife Ashley Belardes and we have 4 beautiful children. We are both attending GCU to further our education. For the past 15 years, I have worked at Donovan State Correctional Facility. As a Native American spiritual leader. Working in the prison has inspired me to do more for the youth. To see so many young inmates in prison I knew something had to change. I have taken it upon myself along with help from my community to join a team of educators to make a change in a child's life. Today I want to take on a new journey in life and working in my community for the youth at all Tribes. It is a privilege for me to be Teaching, agriculture and Native American cultural arts for middle school. I am excited to start this new journey and hope to help your child learn and most of all thrive in life.
