Centro Hispano is a welcoming community center. We serve as a resource and gathering place for families of all backgrounds to feel like they are an integral part of Tennessee. Centro Hispano has served Knoxville for more than 15 years. We educate, develop enterprising leaders, and contribute to the strength of our city by actively investing in Latinos. We work together to fulfill the vision that if one person succeeds, we all succeed. We love to see the community gather to learn and help each other thrive. We continually discover ways to create effective programs that are culturally aware and relevant to the people we serve. According to the US Census Bureau, the number of Latinos living in Knoxville was nearly 42,000 in 2019, with an expected growth of 20% in the next five years. We seek to help people understand the presence, contributions and challenges faced by Latino families living in Tennessee.
