990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Our work is divided into a four-prong approach: 1 Cultiva is the name of our arts & healing programming where we provide arts & healing workshops and mental health support through group therapy, open mics, and events at schools and in the community. In the community, Aliento offers arts & healing workshops and open mics open to anyone in the community ages 7 and up. At schools, Aliento partners with K-20 education institutions to do the programming at school sites. 2 Nurture is the leadership development & student engagement programming of the organization that is part of our education initiatives. Aliento works with high schools, community colleges, and universities to increase youth agency, leadership, and self-advocacy. Aliento provides paid fellowships & internships for school credit to help create and develop student hubs at high schools, colleges, and universities across Arizona. 3 Transform is our program rooted in the sentiment that no one can accomplish things alone. Aliento believes in broadening the coalition of support to create sustainable change in our communities and achieve Aliento's mission of transforming trauma into hope and action. This is why we do professional development for educators, and host trainings with faith leaders, school leaders, and state legislators. 4 Civic Engagement and Policy is our fourth approach to ensure systems and structures are welcoming to all students regardless of immigration status. In 2022, Aliento's students, allies, and coalition partners led the passage of in-state tuition and college scholarships for Arizona students regardless of immigration status.
