The Holland Center

The Holland Center is the only non-profit community center serving all generations in the northeast valley’s Desert Foothills area, offering lifelong enrichment opportunities in art, theater, leadership, desert awareness, history, and community service all under one roof. Located on the Black Mountain Campus alongside the Desert Foothills YMCA and Paradise Valley Community College, the center evolved from the Foothills Community Foundation established in 1986 and was renamed in 2020 to honor donors George and Patricia Holland. With no membership fees or residency requirements, The Holland Center provides world-class speakers, workshops, three signature programs, and serves as a hub for community connection with the mission to “spark curiosity, inspire connection, and build a thriving community.”
