ABOUT ALMA
 The
Association of Latino Men for Action (ALMA) is an
educational, social, advocacy, and support group
for gay, bisexual, or questioning men. For over a
decade, ALMA has nurtured a group identity based
on the experiences of gay Latino men and has become
an important voice on social and political issues
both locally and nationally. A member of Chicago's
Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame, ALMA continues at the
forefront of the movement, helping to shape a better
future for the gay Latino community.
HISTORY & ACTIVITIES
Immigration, health, and relationship building are among
the important topics offered during community forums and
educational workshops. Seasonal dances, brunches, and cultural
activities are held monthly and provide an excellent opportunity
to network and make new friends. ALMA maintains close relationships
with public and private organizations, linking individuals
to needed services. Participants are encouraged to become
members, volunteers, or even join the board of directors
to have a more active role in ALMA.
