Thank you for visiting Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA). As hopefully a frequent visitor, you will be able to keep up with the incredible growth and renaissance that is happening in the "Heart of Los Angeles".
These are exciting times to be a young person growing up in the inner-city areas of Los Angeles. What was once an area that offered little hope for youth to realize a brighter future is now becoming a neighborhood community of opportunity with myriad pathways to achieve success and make our great city of Los Angeles a better place to live, love and grow.
All of this made possible thanks to our partners LA City Recreation and Parks, and our caring staffs, volunteers and donors who empower LA's youth of all ages to overcome the unbelievable obstacles that our kids face daily. Together, our HOLA family can make a big difference in the lives of tomorrow's leaders.
Say HOLA! to the bright future we envision for our great city.
Warm regards,
Anthony "Tony" M. Brown
Executive Director
