Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
At Alagarifuna, our team is more than a group of individuals—we are a family rooted in Garifuna culture, history, and pride. Each of us brings unique talents, perspectives, and experiences, but we are united by one mission: to celebrate, preserve, and share the richness of the Garifuna people with the world.
Our Volunteer Team.
The heart of ALA Garifuna Women beats through our dedicated volunteers. From food distribution to community events, our volunteers give their time, skills, and compassion to uplift families and strengthen our community. Their teamwork and generosity ensure that our mission of care, culture, and empowerment continues to grow. Together, they are the driving force behind the impact we create every day.

See What Our Community Have to Say
"ALA Garifuna has been a true pillar in preserving our culture and empowering the next generation. Through their educational programs, my children have learned to speak our language and embrace their heritage with pride. It’s more than a non-profit—it’s a movement that’s keeping the Garifuna spirit alive.”
-Maria T., Community Member & Parent
