As we look forward to the year ahead, we are excited to make new connections...

Take on new challenges...

And continue doing what we do best: cultivating a stronger, more diverse, more resilient community!

Here at Centro, we are growing our programs, our outreach, and our staff, so we've chosen CRECER as our word for this year. 

Speaking of, our longest-running program has its highest enrollment numbers in 17 years. As of right now, we have 240 students enrolled across our five levels of ESL, and a waiting list of 30!

In 2023, Centro is providing:

• English classes
• Mental health resources
• Higher education guidance for Latino youth
• Field trips to East Tennessee cultural institutions
• HiSET/GED equivalency classes
• Quarterly mobile health clinics
• Parenting classes
• Literacy for children
• Education for aspiring entrepreneurs
• Health and wellness programs
• Financial workshops
• Mobility mentorship
• Afterschool enrichment
• A cultural center and home away from home
• Bilingual, socio-emotional education for young children
• Spanish classes
• Consulting services
• Plenty of volunteer opportunities...

And finally, for our friends learning or working on their Spanish, we include a tip for instantly improving your accent!
