A History of HOLLA!

HOLLA! was founded in 2005 to support education in the Anson County School System. Inspired by these words of Frederick Douglass, "It is easier to build strong children, than to repair broken men," the organization strives without ceasing to level the playing field for the underprivileged and disenfranchised.

Realizing that mentoring and tutoring was not quite enough, the founders of the organization sacrificed personal funds to purchase a former hardware store in the rural town of Morven, NC to better serve the community. Thanks to a grant from The Golden Leaf Foundation, they were able to convert the rugged 1920's structure into a modernized resource center, complete with a commercial kitchen, cafe', media center, activity rooms and office spaces. On the outside, the building has a regulation tennis court - the home of The HOLLA! Eagles Tennis Team.

The facility offers free, phone, fax and other services to the local community. It also hosts mentoring, tutoring, summer camps, after school, cultural and many other community events and meetings.
