Vision
Canal Alliance's vision is to build a pathway to success for families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
History
Incorporated in 1982, Canal Alliance is a comprehensive community resource center that helps low-income, Spanish-speaking immigrants from the greater Marin through access to health and social services, youth development, economic security, and citizenship. We provide the full spectrum of immigrant integration initiatives under one roof—from basic services to systemic solutions. No other single organization offers Marin’s immigrant community the breadth of services that we do.
Canal Alliance services address all barriers to immigrant integration faced by our clients, and our cutting edge evaluation processes allow us to clearly measure progress toward integration. Our bilingual, bicultural staff are unrivalled in their ability to understand the needs of Marin’s low-income immigrant populations, and are highly networked with public agencies and community providers to ensure immigrants are connected to appropriate services. Serving the community for 30 years, we have earned the trust of immigrants as a cornerstone organization in the Canal neighborhood.
