Making an impact every day

ALA has been empowering Silicon Valley's most vulnerable since 1977. We help everyone regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or ability and provide interpretation for individuals with limited English proficiency.

ALA's work benefits over 1.24 millions residents in Santa Clara County alone.

ALA is the only legal services provider with programs to assist, educate, and organize AAPIs in Santa Clara County.
