The Hispanic Outreach Program at Western Avenue provides social services, interpretation / translations, and counseling for Spanish speaking residents in the area. The program has been serving the community for over 20 years and today serves a population of over 5,000.

Thanks to a grant sponsored by Katie Henderson, director of Music Connections in Bloomington, the Hispanic Outreach Program is one of the top five recipients of the Kindermusik Good Beginnings classes. These classes take place on Fridays at 9:15 a.m. at the Center.

Hispanic families are involved through the grant, which involves participants ranging in age from one month to three years. Activities include singing, clapping, dancing and playing musical instruments such as tambourines.The class is also organized by Social Services Director Socorro Alvarez. For more information, please contact her at 827-3794.
