Centro Hispano creates life-changing opportunities for the diverse and growing Hispanic and Latinx community in Frederick County, where anti-immigrant sentiment has disconnected many from needed social services. Since 2008, local law enforcement has processed over 1500 Frederick residents for deportation, impacting thousands of families who face increasing racial profiling and stigmatization. Centro Hispano cultivates and strengthens a sense of community, engaging some 10,000 residents annually. Students from 1st grade through high school participate in afterschool STEAM programming while seniors develop relationships and access care three days a week at the Centro offices. Women undergo job skills training to secure better jobs or start their businesses. And everyone can take its free English, citizenship, and computer classes. For 17 years and counting, Centro Hispano empowers residents so they can fully participate in their community.
