La Alianza Hispana's Year in Review 2009
Saludos:
This is a time to reflect and be grateful for the
many opportunities and blessings we have
received individually and as a community. During
2009, like many local nonprofit organizations, La
Alianza Hispana was impacted by the economic
crisis. Our response to economic challenges
became a great opportunity for us to re-evaluate
our leadership, direction and strategic
approach. It also gave us the opportunity to build
new friendships, and to work in greater
partnership and reconnect in a deeper and more
meaningful way with the broader community. We
were forced to work harder, smarter, and with
greater strategic focus to meet the needs of the
community. But most importantly, 2009 was a
year that inspired us to become stronger, more
compassionate and deeply committed to our
values to better serve our community.
In this 2009 Year in Review newsletter, I am
pleased to share highlights from the last year. I'm
thrilled to introduce you to our new alliances,
investors and board members--all of whom have
brought resources, commitment and expertise to
our efforts this past year. Although challenging,
this year has brought about tremendous opportunities for La Alianza Hispana.
Early in the year we initiated a gathering of Latino community-based organizations in Boston to
launch a plan of action to help us weather the storm of this crisis. Together, we were able to prevail
over state budget cuts and weather the kind of economic climate that we haven't seen in generations.
Earlier this year we also began working with a group of community leaders led by Hubie Jones, one
of La Alianza Hispana's co-founders, to assess the organizational and financial health of some
community-based organizations working in the Roxbury, North Dorchester and Mattapan
communities. This group has focused on improving nonprofit operation and sustainability and
increasing collaboration and resource-sharing to build a healthier and stronger Boston community.
In the spring and summer La Alianza Hispana continued its strong commitment to creating a healthy
community. In the spring, we received a generous grant from the Highland Street Foundation to
launch our Success to LIFE transition to college program to meet the increase demand for advanced
English education and help the unemployed to get jobs. In the summer we launched a new HIV/STI
prevention and education program.

In 2009, La Alianza Hispana began pursuing more innovative fundraising strategies. In the spring we
recognized the work and effort of Latina women and the important role they play in our community
through our Women of Courage fundraiser event. In the summer, in order to continue raising the
funds needed to run our programs and serve our community we launched our Race to 40K, a
fundraising initiative that successfully leveraged social media to raise dollars to support programs
affected by cuts. At final tally, we had raised just over 30K, this included a match grant from the
Liberty Mutual Foundation and 10K from our friends at El Jolgorio Navideño to support our after
school program. Earlier this fall, a long-time supporter, Aixa Beauchamp planned a 50th birthday
celebration for her husband Thomas Melendez and asked friends and families to contribute to La
Alianza Hispana's afterschool program. This event raised over 8k! Thanks to innovative fundraising
strategies and great friends we have been able to continue supporting our existing programs and
services. In 2009 we also launched our new website (www.laalianza.org). We are thrilled with the
look.
This fall we also we re-opened the Family Counseling Center's mental health clinic and ushered in a
new board member, Yvonne Garcia, the vice president of ALPFA and Managing Director for Liberty
Mutual's Partnership Programs in the Affinity Marketing department. And earlier this winter, with
generous support from Youth Build of Boston, we completed renovation of our 78 Forest Street
property--home of our Family Counseling Center. We are incredibly thankful to Youth Build young
adults who did a fantastic job renovating the Family Counseling Center.
We want to thank all of our friends for their support in 2009 and we look forward to a new year of
possibilities and an even brighter 2010!
¡Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo!

Program Profiles: A Year in Review
La Alianza Hispana Mental and Public Health Division
La Alianza Hispana has continued to be committed to promoting positive physical and mental
health. We are always looking for ways to enhance services to our youth and families to help create
tomorrow's leaders. This is not work that La Alianza Hispana can do by ourselves and that is why our
partnerships are so important to us. This year, we partnered with the Boston Health Commission and
we were part of the Mayor's Task Force on Improving Primary Care Access in Boston.The Task
Force is charged with creating a "platform" that would defines an ideal (accessible, high quality,
effective, affordable) primary care system in Boston."
In 2009 we played a key role in many of the systemic changes taking place in the field of Mental
Health in Massachusetts. La Alianza Hispana actively participated in 3 planning committees of Mass
Health's newest initiative, the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI). This initiative seeks to
provide better mental health services to our children in collaboration with other organizations such as
Children's Services of Roxbury and The Home for Little Wanderers. The Intensive Care Coordination
(ICC) system will provide intensive case coordination services to children and youth, up to age 21,
with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED). Wrap around child-centered and family-centered care
planning services will also be provided.
La Alianza Hispana's Mental and Public Health Programs consist of a series of services that
contribute to the positive social and emotional health of Latino families across their life span. Under
the umbrella of La Alianza Hispana's Latino Family Counseling Center, a clinically licensed mental
health clinic, La Alianza Hispana offers a wide variety of bilingual/bicultural clinical and supportive
services. These services currently include:
Crisis Intervention and Family Support and Stabilization Services through a contract with the
Department of Social Services;
Family-based therapy with individual and family counseling through the mental health clinic;
Prenatal Health offered through the Child Maternal Health program, a Boston Healthy Start
program that addresses the high rates of infant mortality and racial disparities in prenatal health
for Boston Latina, Cape Verdean, and African American women by providing individualized
support and case management to young mothers;
Girl's Initiative, a prevention-based peer group for system-involved girls at risk of victimization,
exploitation and violence;
Youth HIV/STI prevention through a new program launched this year with generous support
from the Boston Public Health Commission.
2009 Hightlighs:
Renovated and moved into our 78 Forest Street property - the home of our Family Counseling
Center-with support from our friends at Youth Build.
Re-opened the outpatient clinic for families, adolescents, and other individuals in need of
mental health

Plan Foundation
An article about ADH program was
featured in Seniority, the magazine of
the Commission on Affairs of the Elderly
A new partnership was developed with
Meridian School in Brookline. The
program will offer participants intergenerational and socialization activities
for the whole year.
La Alianza Hispana's Senior Center
made it to the final rounds of the Social
Innovation Forum. The Social Innovation
Forum nominates and provides a cash
award to innovative programs that are
making an impact in Boston.
La Alianza Hispana Senior Center staff participated in an Elder Community Task Force, a
committee hosted by The Boston Public Health Commission to develop a strategic plan to
address the issues affecting the elderly community in Boston.
Who we served:
Approximately 150 seniors have been served by La Alianza Hispana senior services this year. An
additional 90 seniors and persons with disabilities have been served by the Adult Day Health
Program.
Story of Sucess:
A Special Trip to La Alianza Hispana's Adult Day Health & Drop In Center
by Alejandra St.Guillen,
La Alianza Hispana's board member
It was a chilly December morning when I walked into the Landmark senior center. When I walked in, I
was greeted by more than 20 bright smiles, each person involved in a separate activity. "Bienvenida,"
Maria Elisa welcomed me as I walk in the door. Maria Mejia, another board member, and her mother
soon joined us. We were in for quite a treat --a warm escape from the cold, wintry morning.
For the next 30 minutes, Maria Elisa toured us around the center and introduced us to the
participants and the dedicated staff. I had heard so much about La Alianza Hispana's Senior Center
and Adult Day programs even prior to becoming a board member. It was wonderful to be able to put
faces to all the wonderful stories I have heard over the years. At the center, seniors were actively
engaged in various activities, including bingo, dominos, reading and listening to music - salsa,
merengue and bachata, of course! We were received with warmth and cheers but truthfully it's the
staff who deserve cheers of support. The center staff works diligently to ensure that the center
operates efficiently each day. They delicately balance managing medical, nutritional and mental health
needs of all the participants, against tight schedules and burdensome paperwork. This center runs a
tight ship that is full of warmth and compassion for its participants.
The staff's dedication and diligence that makes the Adult Day Health and Senior Recreational Center
at La Alianza Hispana one of the most recognized adult day care centers in the nation, having won a
2nd place prize in a 2006 national competition of adult day providers. This year the center made it to
the final rounds of the 2010 Social Innovation Forum, an organization that accelerates the
development of enduring solutions to social problems. La Alianza Hispana's Adult Day Health and
Senior Recreational Center also appeared on Channel 7 in "Urban Update" , "CBS's Centro" and on
Channel 66 on "Encuentro Latino". Most recently, the center was the feature in an article in Boston
Seniority Magazine. (Click here to watch the latest Encuentro Latino coverage)
Most importantly, what makes this center simply the best program for Latino seniors is the amount of
love and compassion for its senior participants. We then went downstairs to visitBefore leaving, we
visited the Adult Day Drop-in Center and met with , 8 volunteers who were diligently working on
holiday cards. We were also shownThey showed us a quilt handmade by members of the center,
past and present- Francisco Suarez, Irma Carrasquillo, Julia Velasquo, Antonia Lopez, and Maria
Rodriguez, among others. These seniors had committed their time to making this quilt for a raffle to
support the program. The quilt's beautiful lines and mottled textures seemed to tell a million storiesstories of immigration, cultural adjustment, and the personal struggle to find a place of connection, a
place to call home--and as we left, it seemed to me that they had found it.
La Alianza Hispana Workforce and
Education Center for Success
Every week, La Alianza Hispana receives hundreds of requests from people in search of English
Classes. Due to the economy, more and more Latinos are in great need of accelerated English
education. In order to meet this demand and to help develop a greater workforce, La Alianza Hispana,
with the support of Highland Foundation, created a new program - Success for Life .
La Alianza Hispana's Center for Success helps adult English language learners to jump start their
journey towards success through language acquisition and cultural adaptation. Our Success series are
designed to help students set and achieve personal and career goals that support life-long personal
and economic accomplishments. These programs include:
Success for Life, a program designed to transition English language learners into more
advanced speakers capable of completing college level coursework and achieving their
professional goals;
Success for ESOL, a literacy education program which has a waiting list of over 200
individuals and serves over 150 students per year;
Success for Workplace, a program that provide onsite workplace contextualized English
instruction for workers at a clothing manufacturer,Sterlingwear of Boston. This program is a
collaboration between La Alianza Hispana, Sterlingwear of Boston, local union UNITED HERE,
and the Massachusetts Department of Education;
Success for computers provides hands-on computer access, training, and education programs
through the Timothy Smith Learning Center and the League of United Latin American Citizens
(LULAC) Technology Center;
La Alianza Hispana after school program serves 40 Limited-English Proficient (LEP) students
per year by providing after school academic and enrichment services onsite at the Lilla G.
Frederick middle school in Dorchester.
Who we served:
La Alianza Hispana's Workforce and Education Center for Success has provided English instruction to
approximately 165 speakers of other languages. There were 38 participants in Workplace English at
Sterlingwear of Boston. La Alianza Hispana's After- School program has provided personalized
academic enrichment to 40 English language learners at the Lilla G. Frederick Middle School, Also,
the Timothy Smith Learning Center has provided computer instruction to over 28 people and the lab
has been utilized by over 150 people this year.
Highlights of 2009:
Success for ESOL Program - Attendance to classes is consistent with progress. There have
been measurable goals achieved among students, including the obtainment of driver's licenses,
students completing their citizenship tests, students acquiring new jobs and participating in the
Roxbury Adult Literacy Coalition (R.A.L.C.) forum, among other activities.
Success for Life Program - The 10-week Success for Life program started on October 13, 2009
for the fall semester. Angel Salcedo, host of Encuentro Latino, is among the students registered for
this innovative program. We had a site visit from the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to support
the development of a health care career ladder initiative as part of this program.
Success for Workplace -We met with Goodwill Industries to launch a workplace training site to
provide English for Employment classes to their warehouse workers. The workplace ESOL program at
Sterlingwear with La Alianza Hispana was chosen as a model partnership during an event held on
November 24th at the Hynes Convention Center. Univision of New England provided media coverage
and highlighted Marina Rodriguez and two of the Sterlingwear employees who are students in the
program.
Story of Success
It's been a challenging year for La Alianza Hispana's Afterschool program. This year the program lost
two primary sources of funding. Recent 9c cuts nixed funding for the Latino After School Initiative
(LASI), a consortium that provided funding for a dozen after school programs in and around Boston.
Several of the programs that received funding through LASI have folded or are at risk of closing due
to the funding shortage for afterschool programs. The need for academic support programs for Latino
youth is especially dire.
With the dismantling of the bilingual education system in 2001, English language learners are now
entering a system where there are few supports for English language learners. The price Latino
English language learners are paying is high. A report by the University of Massachusetts of Boston
and the Center for Collaborative Education released this past April, showed what La Alianza Hispana
has seen for some time---that, the "English Only" rule in Boston's public schools has led to a
doubling of drop-out rates by English Language Learners. Over 50% of English language learners
are now dropping out of high school.
Challenges are evident in the student population attending La Alianza Hispana's After-school program
at the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School. When English language learners enroll in our afterschool program in September, they are averaging a D letter grade and are at the brink of school
failure. For Latino youth, many of whom are immigrants, the problem is compounded by the struggles
of navigating a new culture, complete with new customs and ideologies. In addition to challenges
inherent in the educational system and acculturation, our families also face economic challenges.
These include poverty and homelessness - approximately 10 of the youth and the families in the
program were in short-term housing or homeless shelters last year. A majority of the families have
been in the country less than 5 years and do not qualify for TAFDC, food stamps or fuel assistance.
Programs like La Alianza Hispana's After School program are making a significant impact on the
academic and social lives of the youth we serve.
In 2008 significant improvements in grades were noted in an outcome evaluation. Last year the
students increased their cumulative GPA from an aggregate of 1.8 at baseline to 2.5 by the end of
the academic year. The following chart demonstrates grade increases by subject for the most recent
academic year:
Although challenged by 9c cuts, La Alianza Hispana has been committed to preserving its after school
program for English language learners given the dire need for these services. Earlier this summer La
Alianza Hispana launched the Race to 40K to raise funds to support programs like this one. We were
absolutely overwhelmed by the show of community support. The Liberty Mutual Foundation, a
supporter of the program, provided us with a 5K match. And just recently, the Liberty Mutual
Foundation also provided the program with a grant.
We also want to extend our utmost gratitude to El Jolgorio Navideño who supported the program with
a generous 10K grant. We are so thankful to have such wonderful friends in our community and we
are forever indebted. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who supported us through the Race to
40K and to our friends at the Liberty Mutual Foundation and El Jolgorio Navideño we were able to
save this wonderful and important program.
La Alianza Hispana's Board Update
2009 was a very busy time for La Alianza
Hispana's board. The board worked in tandem

ADL & LPN Latino Jewish Roundtable.
The Latino Professional Network recently formed an alliance with the Anti-Defamation League's New
England Regional Office to discuss issues affecting both communities. La Alianza Hispana was one of
the partners invited to participate in this initiative. As one of the joint initiatives, we are starting a
series of Latino-Jewish Roundtables. The Roundtables are designed to bring together a select
group of leaders from our communities to identify and discuss issues of common concern, such as
racism, discrimination and anti-immigrant acts, advocate on behalf of these important issues and
much more. We have planned a series of four roundtables between November 2009 and May 2010,
and expect to invite about 40 people to participate. The Roundtables will be co-chaired by LPN VicePresident Gerardo Villacres and ADL New England Region Board Member Richard Glovsky.
As part of this initiative our Executive Director was nominated to participate in the Anti-Defamation
League's (ADL) national Latino/Hispanic Leadership Mission (trip) to Israel on December 6, 2009.
This trip included about 25 people total, from various ADL regional offices (San Diego, Chicago, etc)
and a delegation of 4-5 people from the Boston area. Others participating included directors of
community organizations, business leaders, elected officials, law enforcement officials, journalists etc.
It was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to strength the parternship among the different
community organizations and community leaders. (Photo Above: Diego Portillo, LPN, Janet Collazo,
and Superintendent Rafael Ruiz, Boston Police Department)
Census 2010
As part of the Census 2010 Initiative, Boston Local Census Office was opened on November 6th and
our Executive Director was asked to be one of the speakers at the opening. The goal of the event
was to celebrate the opening of the new office branch and to discuss the importance of partnerships
between not- for- profit organizations and the Census. Other speakers included Boston Mayor Tom
Menino and Arnold Jackson, Associate Director for Decennial Census, US Census Bureau.
