Who We Are
The ALMS Board of Directors is a body of Yolo County citizens concerned with the next generation of our local youth, and is comprised of eight individuals with professional backgrounds, sharing a single mission to make a real difference in the lives of under-served youth who might otherwise fall between the cracks of society. They volunteer time and expertise to develop strategy, build, and sustain resilience in the organization.
ALMS Founder and Executive Director, Jayne Williams, reports to the Board of Directors. She guides the daily operations of ALMS, and oversees a team of volunteer staff, including a corps of fifteen mentors who bring a wide swath of experience, both personally and professionally.
ALMS is dependent mostly upon grassroots funding. Its programs and services are delivered by its Executive Director and volunteer mentors.
In 2019, the City of Woodland honored ALMS with the Key to the City for its commitment, contribution, and passion for helping youth in the Woodland area.
"I have cared for three generations in Woodland. Poverty does not seem to change for many families; ALMS can help the next generation."
