Welcome to the website for MANA de Hidalgo County!

We have been serving the Hidalgo County area since 2001. MANA de Hidalgo County was founded by Dr. Glendelia Zavala. Our community programs and youth initiatives are designed to be "tools" to help empower others. We do not require that you belong to any particular gender, religion, or political affiliation, as long as you believe in our mission. MANA de Hidalgo County is operated by a group of volunteers, who donate their valuable time. We are always looking for volunteers! We ask that you consider donating a little of your time.

"If we're waiting for someone else to do something, it never gets done.
We're going to have to take responsibility, all of us."
--President Obama

Please join us for our monthly general meetings! See our calendar of events below.
