Last week, we hosted our 12th annual Leaders of Change event, where nearly 150 community supporters from across Los Angeles came together to celebrate the brilliance of Alliance scholars and alumni.

The evening was a powerful reflection of why Leaders of Change exists—to honor the journeys of Alliance graduates who are shaping careers, uplifting their communities, and redefining what’s possible for the next generation. Through the generosity of our sponsors and guests, we raised more than $185,000 for the Alliance Gayle Miller Leaders of Change Scholarship Fund, lighting the way for Alliance seniors who will head to college next fall.

Watch the video below to hear directly from alumni who have come full circle since receiving an Alliance scholarship:

Alumni like Alison and Edwin remind us that the power of community is not just something we say at Alliance; it’s something we live.

As we near the season of giving and reflection, we invite you to join us in extending that legacy. Every gift, no matter the size, helps fuel an Alliance scholar’s next step toward college and a bright future.

Thank you for believing in the promise of our scholars. Together, we are illuminating the light ahead for generations to come.
