La Casa Hogar is another wonderful Yakima-based NPO that does incredibly valuable and compassionate work in the community.  They are a resource for recently-arrived and immigrant members of Yakima’s Hispanic population and they offer community services for the young and disenfranchised  and for people of limited resources.  La Casa also throws fundraising events, does educational outreach and teaches intensive ESL and life-skills classes.

Their mission has developed and deepened since their inception 17 years ago (founded by the Yakima Interfaith Coalition), so  I’ll let them explain it:

Today
Today we are a thriving “second home” for immigrant women and their children. They are committed to improving themselves, their families and their community through a variety of educational opportunities, the base of which is English as a Second Language. The preschool children participate in a structured learning program developing pre-literacy and social behavioral skills for school readiness.

Leadership
Leadership is developing in the form of new shoots on the plant. Our four staff, all previous students of La Casa Hogar, now give back, building the home of the family as they nurture, care and share resources with all who come to this place.
