Wesley Community Center is a Valley of the Sun United Way Primary Partner and a National Mission Institution of the United Methodist Church.
Established in 1950, we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, community service organization dedicated to empowering and assisting families in the south-central Phoenix community of Nuestro Barrio (our neighborhood). This predominately Hispanic community is home to approximately 7,000 individuals, 70% living in sub-standard housing. They are beset by extreme poverty, social problems, high crime rates, and a 42% school dropout rate.
We make positive changes in the lives of our clients and their children through our programs and services.
Wesley's vision statement:
"Together We Empower Positive Change" is at the heart of all Wesley programs.
