Now in our 20th year, Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) was started on a simple premise:
Every child deserves a chance.
A chance...
...to play.
...to learn
...to explore.
...to laugh.
...to be safe.
...to understand that they can do anything!
In an area where kids sometimes seem forgotten, HOLA provides an oasis of safety and encouragement to the children of Los Angeles' inner city. At HOLA children learn that anything is possible.
"Every child deserves to have the tools to succeed. It is my dream to give children a place where those tools are accessible, and I know that HOLA is fulfilling that dream."
Mitchel D. Moore, HOLA's Founder & Chairman
Mission: Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) provides underserved youth with exceptional programs in academics, arts and athletics within a nurturing environment, empowering them to develop their potential, pursue their education and strengthen their communities.
