Caminandos Unidos
Caminando Unidos is a student club at ALC that organizes around immigration. The larger vision of Caminando Unidos is to live in a world where racism and discrimination against immigrants does not exist. The main goal of this group is to educate students about changes in immigration policy, get involved with creating new immigration reforms, and to offer support for undocumented students through school into college.
The Voice
The VOICE is a student club at ALC that organizes around education. The vision of the VOICE is that everyone has access to a great education. This year, the VOICE chose to organize around the Budget Cuts because the cuts hurt our schools by cutting good teachers and making bigger our class sizes. The VOICE would like to invite you to join us next year, and most importantly, to take charge of your education!

Grad Girls
During the meetings, girls will have the chance to share their ideas and experiences relating to the college admissions process. One of our goals is to build a sisterhood and supportive environment where high achieving peers are able to inspire and motivate their fellow students. In an effort to build community involvement and strengthen college applications, program participants will also collectively volunteer their services to a chosen cause at least once a month.
