Our Mission Statement

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.
 

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. Neighborhood challenges include: extreme poverty, social problems,
high crime rates, and a 42% school dropout rate.
 
We make positive changes in the lives of our clients, patients 
and their children through our programs and services.
