Hispanic Heritage Society of Texas

About HHS

In the spring of 2007, a group of young Latinos formed the Hispanic Heritage Society of Texas (HHS of Texas) to promote Hispanic cultural awareness and advance the well being of Hispanic Texans. Today HHS of Texas is the youngest and most active membership organization serving the Latino community.

HHS of Texas members are the driving force behind significant advancements and improvements to the quality of life for Hispanics across the state since the founding of this organization. Our members have shown determination in trying to end discrimination and injustice for Hispanics living in the Texas. HHS of Texas has developed state and community-based programs to address the needs of the Hispanic community and to ensure that this state's population obtains the necessary education and skills to keep negative stereotypes out of our daily lives.

As an HHS of Texas member, you will be part of an organization whose members are making a difference through volunteer programs addressing the needs of the Latino community. You will also be part of a statewide network of community activists who are protecting our civil rights in the areas of education at the local and state levels.

Today, our membership extends into every region of Texas. Through our Youth and Young Adult councils, HHS of Texas offers membership opportunities for all age groups. HHS of Texas also reflects a broad cross-section of Hispanic Americans including Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Central and South Americans. We need your help to continue our legacy of improving cultural awareness and the quality of life for all Latinos.
