About Canal Alliance
For three decades Canal Alliance has been the leading service provider and community advocate for
Marin’s low-income, Spanish-speaking immigrants. Today, the organization reaches more than 3,500
young people, families and individuals who face multiple challenges. By effectively collaborating with
more than 40 other agencies and 500 volunteers, the Alliance delivers education services, improves
access to community resources and provides job-readiness training and job-seeking support. As a result,
vulnerable immigrants, who fled their home countries to escape poverty and/or persecution, gain the
tools they need to successfully move from crisis to stability and become empowered to thrive.
