The Phyllis Wheatley Community Center in Minneapolis, MN, has been a cornerstone for the Black community for over a century, providing essential programs and services that empower individuals to discover their strengths and take control of their futures. With a mission focused on outdoor equity, financial education, and mentorship, the center continues to adapt and grow in support of youth, families, and community wealth-building initiatives.

Historically significant, the center originally served as a safe haven for Black artists and intellectuals such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes during the early 20th century, who were often unwelcome in local hotels. Today, it remains a beacon of hope and support, enriching the lives of those it serves through a diverse range of programs and community resources.
