Alma's Girls Today Women Tomorrow Leadership Mentoring Program

Alma was founded by a small group of courageous, passionate and determined women who, by advocating for their children and families' needs, brought professionals, volunteers, and systems together. Our agency has stayed true to its foundational vision by serving and empowering individuals of all ages while paving the way for women's contributions in various capacities including youth leaders, teachers, case managers, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists, parent mentors, CEOs and Board Chairs.
 
After partnering with our organization through different efforts over the years, Girls Today Women Tomorrow (GTWT) decided to become part of Alma Family Services. This year, we are excited for the opportunity to reopen the Alma's Girls Today Women Tomorrow program headquarter in Boyle Heights. Through our Youth Development department, Alma's GTWT will once again empower girls ages 10-21 to create their own opportunities toward life success while contributing to their community as young leaders.
 
Additional information on upcoming programming and volunteering opportunities will be shared in the next few days/weeks as we revitalize this great resource for our young women and families in the East side of Los Angeles!
 
¡Adelante!

ALMA SITES ARE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AT THIS TIME

During these challenging times Alma Family Services has closely monitored Coronavirus (COVID-19) developments. Our Leadership team has been in direct communication with systems of care and elected officials, taking steps to safeguard the health and wellbeing of staff and clients.

In order to further reduce the chance of communal exposure during this evolving crisis, our offices have been closed to the public and most of Alma staff is working remotely effective 3/20/2020 until further notice.

We know that this pandemic has caused significant anxiety and stress. Our staff is committed to serving our community, promoting health, resilience and hope, especially during these uncertain times. Alma has continuously utilized telephone and video platforms (when approved by the respective City/County department) to offer a range of supportive services to its clients and community at large including mental health services, case management, parenting support and youth development programming.

We will stay in touch and provide periodic updates through Facebook and our Website, providing updates and ways in which you may access these services.
