ALMS Included Everyone and This Is How Some Say Thank You.
ALMS is a testament to the power of community. Whether they are homeless, single moms, referred to by the Courts or the District Attorney’s Office, our diverse youth find support in our mentor network. If poverty clouds their dreams, dyslexia, on the spectrum, ADHD, or anxiety holds them back, ALMS is there to say ‘yes’ and guide them.
Our youth come from good homes with limited resources and troubled homes with limited caring and sharing. Many students initially feel that opportunity is beyond their reach, until they discover that they only need to look within themselves, with the support of the strong mentor network available through ALMS.
ALMS mentors are the driving force behind the positive change in their community, one youth at a time. Their dedication and guidance often lead to transformative moments. Sometimes, the young person's response is as powerful as a song. Click the picture below and listen to what one student wrote, directed, and produced to express her journey with ALMS.
Imagine - the impact of changing the trajectory of just one young person’s life. “We would actually change more than that person because we would have invest in their future - how they chose their spouse, love their children, give to their community, improve their planet – and maybe save the world.”
