OUR MISSION

Wesley's mission statement, "Together We Empower Positive Change," is at the heart of all Wesley programs.

Wesley Community Center is a Valley of the Sun United Way Primary Partner and a National Mission Institution of the United Methodist Church.

Since 1950, Wesley Community Center, located in south central “downtown” Phoenix, AZ, has provided programs, services, and activities for primarily Hispanic families through its Family/Youth Services and the Amigos Center in west Phoenix. Wesley Health Center, opened in 2003 for uninsured patients, became a FQHC in 2009 through a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and HRSA. In 2011, primary healthcare services and preventive/health management classes for everyone were provided to over 8,000 unduplicated patients. Additionally, through partnerships with 26 other non-profit agencies/organizations, community center services supported an additional 7,600 individuals through: after-school/summer programs; fitness, nutrition, sewing, and gardening classes/opportunities; and emergency food assistance.
