Host + Happenings

Community thrives
at El Centro

At El Centro, we’re actively building a community. El Centro’s Staff includes a full Host Team whose main focus is the wellbeing of the community. We believe a house becomes a home when you have a sense of community and we try to foster that. Through hosting events online or in person that are fun, interesting and informative, we offer ways to meet your neighbors, discover Hollywood, and find your creative side with our event schedule.

A commitment to community

Our Host Team’s primary focus is to cultivate a sense of community at El Centro. This is not just hyperbole, but an active program we’ve been pioneering since our doors opened. In fact, the first year that we were open, El Centro was recognized as one of the country’s most social buildings. Now more than ever, people appreciate real interactions they have with their neighbors, and this program is perfecting that.

Events Include

  • Neighborhood Outings
  • Painting Events
  • Craftboxes
  • Yappy Hour (Drinks + Dogs)
  • Virtual Yoga
  • Courtyard Concerts

The Host Team would love to invite you to our next event.

Ask About Future Happenings
"El Centro has done a tremendous job of creating an atmosphere of community in a bustling, urban area. Their events aren’t the awkward mixers of years past but rather natural and fun opportunities to get out and socialize with your neighbors."
