A Note from our President and CEO
Strengthening Connections
Dear Friends,
Consider the people who helped shape you into who you are today. Family, friends, classmates, teachers, mentors. Where would you be without them?
Every day, we meet children and adults who feel lost or lonely — children who have experienced significant trauma, teens under immense pressure, adults who haven’t yet found a community of belonging, and families struggling with unexpected challenges. Our work is complex, but at the heart of it is to help everyone we work with find connections and build the skills necessary to push through challenges with determination and resilience.
RFK Community Alliance services offer more than just support; they create a safe, therapeutic space where people of all ages can build confidence to overcome obstacles and embrace new opportunities, all while building lasting relationships and becoming their best self.
Strengthening Connections
Your contribution, whether large or small, directly funds these programs and empowers us to reach more people in need. By donating, you’re not just giving money—you’re giving hope. Let’s work together to help more people find their path to a future full of possibility.
Thank you for your generosity and belief in our mission. You’ve been so supportive before. Will you help us continue this work by making a donation today?
With sincere appreciation,
Michael W. Ames, Ph.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer

How Our Programs Ignite Possibilities
The Williams Family worked with our Bright Futures Adoption Center to create their family. When they were adopted, the children were 15 and 13 and had spent 6 years in foster care. Just a few years later, they are flourishing as a healthy, happy family.
