About Us
HOLA Lakeway was granted 501c3 status in May 2019. ​We are a grassroots, community-based organization with the mission of meeting needs and improving the overall quality of life for the population in rural East Tennessee Lakeway region, a six-county area.​ Our passion for education and advocacy inspires our work. Not only do we offer various educational programs, but also initiate projects focused on needs based in our community. We pride ourselves on our commitment to our entire community.
Recognizing the need for a dedicated space to support newcomers and longtime residents alike, we opened the HOLA Lakeway Sankofa Center in 2021 as our home. More than just a welcome center, its serves as a vital hub where families can access resources, build connections, and find a true sense of belonging in the Lakeway area.
