Our Mission

We are committed to improving the quality of life and promoting the well-being of the Hispanic individual and family in the CSRA.

Sketch ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

ALAS, officially established in October 2005, emerged in response to the increasing need of the Latino community of the CSRA to improve its quality of life. A group of community leaders realized that the Latino population was experiencing an accelerated increase in the number of families in the CSRA area. The objective of these leaders was to marshal the resources necessary to provide programs and to enlist the cooperation of community based organizations, businesses, and governmental entities in promoting the general well-being of the local Latino community.

OUR VISION

Our vision is that through our services and effective networking, ALAS will be the innovator by unifying community resources and providing assistance to Latino individuals and families as well as being the leader in developing and implementing dynamic responses to the ever-present health challenges facing the Latino community.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am very excited to take on this new position as President of the Asociación Latina de Servicios del CSRA (ALAS) and would like to thank former president Elsa Bustamante for the countless hours she dedicated to ALAS in the past two years. She has set a great example and model for leadership, achievement and creativity. Having said this I commit myself to giving 100% to ALAS in an effort to continue our mission of improving the quality of life and promoting the well-being of Latino individuals and families.

Last year ALAS experienced more growth than any of the years prior combined. With this growth comes challenges and endless possibilities. It is ALAS'’ vision that one day we will be able to serve a much larger number of Hispanics needing our services and this year we will be moving ahead towards this goal.

In this new year with the support of the community and our passionate volunteers I anticipate improving our current services and opening ALAS to new endeavors and opportunities as well.

Sincerely,

Kelly Hoover
