What is ACHLA?
ACHLA is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that works to respond to the needs of Chicanos, Hispanics and Latin Americans in our community. Our philosophy is to work cooperatively with other organizations that offer services and resources to our target population. We offer programs in the areas of education, health, communication, cultural events, leadership, economic growth and spirituality.
Participation
Our ultimate goal is the Integration of the Hispanic community while maintaining our cultural identity and heritage. We work to build a sense of community and belonging among ourselves and with the community at large. We share our cultural heritage, involve other organizations in our activities, and collaborate with other groups serving the hispanic community, and with community members from different cultural backgrounds. We want to work together towards equality.

Children participate in math tutoring, enrichment and recreational activities, and mentoring.
