HISTORY

Welcome to the Hispanic Center of Greater Danbury.

 

The Hispanic Center of Greater Danbury was founded in 1967 by a group of Latino community leaders as a civic center to preserve their languages and culture.

As the Latino community, the fastest growing population in the state and the largest minority group in this area; numbers over 20,000.

 

Our Center is a collaborative force that empowers and encourages members of the Hispanic community on their journeys to self-sufficiency, personal responsibility, educational attainment, career development and entrepreneurial success. We support the Hispanic community as members overcome obstacles and become vital participants and leaders to the community at large.
