2015 Annual Report
Individually together we are ONE DROP we are an OCEAN 2015 Annual Report A Message from the President Dear Friend, Your individual support makes an amazing difference in the lives of immigrants and has an even more profound impact when joined with that of many other caring individuals like you in our community. Thank you for adding your drop to our ocean of effort to help low-income, Spanish-speaking immigrant families build better lives by helping them acquire the tools they need to thrive. This past year, your generosity made it possible for us to serve a record number of clients – 3,795 across the range of our services – and respond to the needs of immigrants in many ways, including: • increasing our capacity to provide immigration legal services, particularly for unaccompanied minors, DACA applicants and renewals, and those preparing for DAPA • helping our youth program students make significant gains toward closing the achievement/opportunity gap • helping immigrants apply for drivers’ licenses made possible by the passage of Assembly Bill 60 • expanding our behavioral health support services to West Marin County We are excited to share with you everything we have accomplished together in this Annual Board of Directors Juliet Schiller, President Joshua Davis, Vice President Sandro Rossini, Treasurer Katherine Crecelius, Secretary John Adler Karen Carrera Marlene Knox Michele Manos Report. But we remain mindful that there is much more to do, such as: • strengthening our youth academic program to ensure a growing pipeline of college graduates • helping our clients prepare for and be informed about immigration reform opportunities • promoting and expanding our behavioral health services As a first-generation graduate and a human rights educator, I understand both the unique challenges faced by Latino immigrants and the opportunities that become possible when we have the right tools. Your support enables us to help Marin’s immigrant community acquire vital skills so they too have the opportunity to thrive. Please add other drops to our ocean by inviting your family, friends and colleagues to join you in supporting this important work – as a volunteer, a financial contributor, or an ambassador of our work. Together we are an ocean.

I even drove my daughter to Disneyland!” Maribel Maribel came to the US from Peru with her young son in 1996. At Canal Alliance, she received the help she needed to turn her jewelry-making skills into a small business. Today, Maribel’s jewelry is featured at three local retail stores and she hopes to one day have her own jewelry shop. Maribel says her son is her inspiration. “I have to show my son you can turn your life around.” See more Success Stories on our website at canalalliance.org UP! Middle School Doing well in middle school sets the stage for success in high school and college. But many Latino immigrant students lack the resources and support they need to succeed in school. With the structured academic support provided by UP!, over half of UP! middle school students improved a full letter grade or more from their first progress report to their second quarter grades. Over 25% have improved a full letter grade in math. “ “ I was having problems with math and I got a tutor... my grade went from an F to an A in math and in science my grade went from a C- to a B+. - Raul, 7th grade If I didn’t come to Canal Alliance I’d probably be home trying to do homework, but I wouldn’t be able to get the help I need. - Yuleida, 7th grade Our Impact With your support, Canal Alliance provided 3,795 Latino immigrants with the tools and support needed to move out of poverty Our Strengths & Opportunities and thrive as new Americans.
