Since that time, she has led the organization forward by forming deeper community connections and stabilizing organizational processes and fundraising plans to provide stability for years to come.

Alma Alvarado-Cabrera
Assistant, Interpreter

Alma Alvarado-Cabrera joined the Christ Clinic team in 2024 through Adelante, a summer fellowship that places young adults from historically marginalized communities with organizations and business host sites throughout the community.
