I had the pleasure to be scheduled to assist with the voting this year at the Delhi Center. It sure was a surprise as well as a happy experience as I came across many old friends from childhood & even saw my boys friends & family out voting @ Delhi Center it truly was a pleasure as I am also bilingual in Spanish most reminded me of my tias (aunts) or tios (uncles) a delightful time I can't wait to do it again next time.

Delhi Center is a good place they try to help the community as much as I can the staff that work there have a sweetheart for people in the community and they do their best to serve the people in the area. My family and friends are very happy with this center. We appreciate everything they do and we wish more centers were like this and were out to help people in need or activities for adults and children.

I just hosted my daughters quinceañera on 5/24 and if I could give this venue a million stars I would! We had about 300 guests and Freddy and his staff were beyond helpful, courteous, and just overall amazing. From the setup to the teardown, the party went completely flawless. They ballroom is huge with lots of space, air conditioning, a courtyard, a massive kitchen, clean bathrooms, and an outside bar area. We couldn't have picked a better venue to celebrate. Thank you Freddy and staff for making this day such an amazing memorable one!

I've booked the Delhi Center Ballroom for work conferences a few times, and the staff are always very helpful. Freddy communicates well beforehand and if we needed help the day of, their staff was great about answering questions or checking in to make sure everything was going well. I appreciate that the Delhi is a nonprofit as I know the fees will go toward their community programs.

We reached out to the Delhi Center about hosting an arts and music festival on a April 1st. They were very helpful on securing a date that worked for us cause we know they get booked quite often! The staff was courteous and gave us the day before to set up for the event, which helped to make things run smoothly the day of the event.
The main ball room was big enough to host the music festival and the courtyard was plenty to showcase of some of the local artwork made by youth.
This place was great because of the various breakout rooms that served as a green room and production room. There was

If you're looking to volunteer or intern with a company that offers great opportunities for growth, this is it! I originally joined Delhi Center's team as a volunteer and am now a Grant Writing Intern. Despite my previous experience with other nonprofits, Delhi did not fail to impress me. They are very professional and offer a large scope of services. One of the most rewarding experiences thus far has been tutoring for the K-8 after-school STEM program, Mathletics. It's proven to be a wonderful fit and a true learning experience. Cross-training and professional development is highly

I love this place! I came here today for a meeting on UCI Saturday Academy of Law, and let me tell you, it's huge & beautiful. The demonstration & the ballroom overall we're great, and the it's very spotless. I would defenitly recommend if you're ever looking for a place to have a presentation/speech come here! It looks like it's designed for much more, and can hold more than 100+ people for sure!

The Delhi Community Center, not only offers GREAT resources and classes for it's community but it also houses a hidden GEM! A 4,307 sq ft BALLROOM!!! Which can seat up to 350 guests. Santa Ana has many different event spaces for your quinceañera, wedding, events, etc. but this place really is Amazing, it has super high ceilings (so your quinceañera won't bump her head when she is doing all her crazy stunts to wow her guests during her baile sorpresa) and a stage (for the banda, or one of the many Sonora Show, Dinamita show, or what ever Sonora Dinamita Show you book).

My introduction to the Delhi Center was through one of their programs, the Achievement Institute of Scientific Studies. I was privileged to be a guest speaker at one of their summer workshops in 2005. The program is truly exceptional! It encourages low-income students to enter careers in STEM fields. All the participants were extremely motivated and excited to be part of this program, and the staff truly went above and beyond to ensure that these students were receiving all the academic resources to do well in high school and in college.
I soon learned that Delhi houses over 40 other programs

Great facility for community events. It's super new, super clean and super smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood.
All sorts of community events go on here. Caters mostly to OC and Latino/Hispanic communities but I've been here for foster youth and community banking/financial literacy events too.

I've been coming here more and more lately because they have tons of activities. Not only for kids but for adults too. So far my kids have participated in ballet, soccer, and cheerleading. They also have adult educational classes such as computers, English, etc... Karate and computers too. Yes, it's in a kinda low income neighborhood, but this center is rich in people.
