Aliento is one of eight global organizations awarded the Adolescent Mental Health Grant by Zoom Cares.
Aliento was awarded this multi-year grant to continue to support our Cultiva program grounded in bringing our arts & healing workshops, mental health initiatives, and support for undocumented and mixed-status families in the height of the pandemic. Over the next two years, we hope to reach 2500-3000 students through our programs.
