About ALMA Chicago

ALMA Chicago is a leading LGBTQ service organization dedicated to providing support, resources, and advocacy for the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities. Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive and accepting society.

Mission

Founded in 1989, in the midst of the AIDS epidemic, ALMA is rooted in advocating for the fair treatment and equality of the Latinx LGBTQ+ community. As Latinx and LGBTQ+ people, we are not a monolith, but our histories, accomplishments, struggles, and humanity unites us all in the fight for an equitable and more just society.

Our mission is simple: to expand power within the Latinx, LGBTQ+, and gender-expansive communities.

Non-Discrimination Policy

ALMA Chicago is committed to fostering an environment where all people are treated with dignity, respect, and equity. We do not discriminate in our programs, services, activities, employment practices, partnerships, or organizational operations on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, marital or familial status, immigration status, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

We believe that diversity strengthens our mission and that equal access and full participation are fundamental to the work we do. ALMA Chicago expects all staff, volunteers, partners, and participants to uphold these principles and contribute to a welcoming and inclusive community.
