About Us
History
HOLA was formed in 2002 and incorporated in 2004 as a response to a growing need within the rapidly growing Latino community in Evansville. In its earlier years, HOLA became an initial bridge between Latinos and many of the organizations and services available in the community. From 2008 to 2013 HOLA, in partnership with Nativity Catholic Church, launched the Juan Diego Latino Center, and developed a number of programs such as Health Education and Clinics, La Academia, and the HOLA Summer Camp.
In 2016, HOLA launched the HOLA Latino Festival and continues to evolve to best meet the needs of our growing community.
