Canal Alliance
Canal Alliance is a nonprofit champion of immigrants who are challenged by a lack of resources and an unfamiliar environment. We believe that everyone has the right to achieve their dreams. Every day we educate, empower, support and partner with motivated immigrants and their families to best meet their unique needs -- from putting food on the table to becoming a U.S. citizen to learning English, and graduating from college. Because when we support immigrants, Marin becomes a place where everyone can live, work and succeed.
