Canal Alliance is a nonprofit champion of immigrants who are challenged by a lack of resources and an unfamiliar environment.
We exist to break the generational cycle of poverty for Latino immigrants and their families by lifting barriers to their success.
We believe everyone has the right to achieve their dreams. Every day, we educate, empower, support, and partner with motivated immigrants and their families to best meet all their unique needs—from putting food on the table, to becoming U.S. citizens, to learning English, to graduating from college, and obtaining career-path employment. Because when we support immigrants, Marin becomes a place where everyone can live, work, and succeed.
