About
Founded in July 1999 by a group of mostly Hispanic women responding to growth in the Latinx population of Northwest Arkansas, HWOA began as a grassroots effort to support women, families, and the broader community through education and civic involvement. Over time, it has expanded to offer programs like the GEM (Guiding, Empowering, and Mentoring) educational series, RAD (Reaching for the American Dream) citizenship and voter-education initiatives, scholarships, community resources, and cultural celebrations like Cinco de Mayo and the annual conference. HWOA also became an affiliate of UNIDOS US in 2004, strengthening its mission to foster inclusion, cultural respect, and community collaboration.
