Nidhi shares the difficulty of a high-achiever, and immigrant. She has so much to offer our community as a leader and professional; yet, she almost gave up a couple years ago. We can't afford to lose any of our youth!
All Leaders Must Serve (ALMS) is a mentor organization that empowers young adults, ages 15-25 through job readiness soft skills (work ethic, character development, and communication skills) to become self-sufficient, prepared for living-wage jobs, and to give back to their communities.
ALMS has identified recurring barriers facing youth, including fear, lack of confidence, limited communication skills, and uncertainty about expectations in academic and professional environments. These barriers often undermine trust and prevent young people from fully engaging in opportunities that support long-term success.
ALMS addresses these challenges by intentionally embedding trust-building into its curriculum through structured mentor relationships, peer dialogue, and practical skill development along with a financial stipend to encourage perfect attendance.
RESULTS: 97% completion rate with perfect attendance following the introduction of attendance stipends. Your donation invites students to receive the trust-building experience while encouraging family support as a core strategy.

Project goal for ALMS:
For students to successfully transition into the workforce, it is essential that they first acquire relevant skills—such as leadership, motivation, empathy, curiosity, dependability, cognitive abilities, ethical engagement, communication, and teamwork. Once these foundational skills are developed, students can confidently apply for job opportunities and ultimately secure meaningful employment, setting the stage for a productive and fulfilling career.
