Our Vision

We aspire to help build our community and its surrounding neighborhoods through our tireless efforts to become a full service community resource center.  Through empowerment of our youth, partnerships with our resources and dedication to our mission we will offer a wide spectrum of services.

We will feed the hungry, educate the uneducated, nurture

the youth and advocate healthy lifestyles for all.

Our History

According to an old issue of Episcopal Christ Cathedral Notes, one May night in 1964, 150 African-American boys broke into the long–closed gymnasium at St. George’s parish house to play ball.  The Urban Mission Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky took that as a sign from the Holy Spirit that there was a need for the Episcopal Church to address particular challenges faced by this community.  They began holding Friday night events, and by the time school began in September, up to 600 African-American teens were attending.  Thus, St. George's Community Center was born.  

The Community Center was established in 1965 in conjunction with the reopening of St. George’s Episcopal Church at the corner of 26th and Oak Street in Louisville.  This is a residential area of modest homes, predominately African-American, with many concerns common to the inner-city neighborhoods.  The needs of the surrounding community gave the Center a natural ministry in the areas of recreation, education, family and emergency services.  The Center was directed by the clergy assigned to the church until August 1991, when a social worker was hired to manage the Center.

The following are a list of important day to day activities for youth development.
