The ALA has four focus areas: veterans and military support, youth development, family support, and advocacy for veterans.
How do we do that? Our members:
- advocate for veterans by exercising our right to impact government policy
- educate others by providing instructional resources such as flag etiquette and the meaning of the red poppy
- support youth, especially children of military and veterans, through scholarships and patriotic programs like ALA Girls State
- provide various programs with the end goal of enhancing the lives of veterans, military, and their families.
What does that mean? In a nutshell, ALA members across the country volunteer and participate in programs and events that benefit veterans. Last year, they volunteered more than 10 million hours and raised and donated nearly $45 million for mission service. That’s impact!
We love what we do, and we think you will too. Learn more about ALA membership.
