Additionally, Alejandra manages TrueCare’s youth advocacy program. This program focuses on youth leadership development through the implementation of substance use disorder advocacy projects with students at high schools. A youth advocates group has been running steadily at Perris High School and in 2023, Alejandra is leading the program’s expansion to San Marcos, further solidifying her dedication to empowering the youth of our region.
