Since 2015 ALMS provides mentor and soft-skills,job readinesstraining, and we need your help! Be a part of the vital services we provide to high school and out-of-school youth who have lost hope. Hope is not just a word, it's a lifeline, and young people often find themselves in the grip of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. High School students frequently express fear about their future, lack confidence in their ability to transition into adult life, and have no dreams. ALMS is here to challenge them, to help them envision a brighter future, believe in their potential, and avoid the pitfalls of distraction.
ALMS engages them in a conversation that not only instills hope but also helps them gain communication skills during the discussion and develop social skills in the community. Your support can make a significant difference in their lives!
Your contribution, whether through donation or volunteering, will make a significant difference in the lives of these young people. Our goal is to reach 100 students by the end of 2025, and each one will benefit from your support. In today's financial climate, hope is more important to the next generation than ever. Be a part of the solution. Give or volunteer.
TRUST affects the trajectory and outcome of our lives - both personally and professionally according to best selling author Stephen M.R. Covey and his book "The Speed of Trust." In 2024 ALMS trained 50 Woodland students with this curriculum. See what this group from Pioneer High School Learned. The two-week intensive after-school program ran from Monday to Friday, and the information was adjusted to high school juniors and seniors. This program taught and discussed the concepts of trust, providing young adults with essential skills to help them jump-start their careers and adult life.
Jayne Williams, Founder, and Executive Director, shares the importance of becoming community volunteers who support our youth as mentors. Angela Lynn, Board member, and Chris Stamm, ALMS Mentor, echo this sentiment. Their words are complemented by the wisdom of Jan Arnold, ALMS Mentor, age 82. Let's be a part of the urgent solution to our kids' issues, including avoiding homelessness, fighting mental health issues, and finding employment. We can do it together!
All Leaders Must Serve is a mentoring organization that helps young adults between the ages of 15 and 25 to develop job readiness and life skills. We empower them with work ethic, character development, and communication skills, to help them secure, maintain and excel in their careers. Since 2015, we have been working towards addressing the social, emotional, and financial challenges faced by youth. However, due to the pandemic, social media and isolation, many young people in our community are struggling to transition into adulthood. Some have been isolated for a long time, even before the pandemic. Matthew, ALMS' Intern, was one of those students. He shared his story during the 2023 ALMS Annual Dinner. Although this is a short version of his story, it highlights the difficulties young people face in today's world. Today Matthew is a student at Chico State University - Congratulations!

Needs
In 2025 ALMS returned to Cache Creek High School after partnering with Woodland Joint Unified School District. The job readiness pilot program was similar to the one we ran in 2015, and it is the first time we have been there since the pandemic! With the cuts in education, we will need the community's support to continue reaching young people in all the schools.
