These Young People Could Have Been Lost Between the Cracks
In 2025, ALMS celebrates ten years in Woodland. We have seen the inspiring journey of our young people, who, despite the odds, have found their place in the community through employment in diverse industries. This is a testament to the success of our program and the positive impact it has had on our community. We are in touch with many who have been part of our program since its inception, further highlighting the lasting benefits of our work.
As we enter this Holiday Season, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve and witness the positive results of our work. We owe this success to our dedicated supporters and volunteer mentors, whose unwavering commitment has made our achievements possible.

GIVE FOR THE FUTURE
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 change how they choose their spouse, love their children, invest into their community, improve their planet – and maybe save the world.”
