Founded in 1920 to serve the needs of African American women and girls, the Phyllis Wheatley Center has evolved to meet the needs of the East Knoxville community for the past 100 years. Today, the Phyllis Wheatley Center is the main facility for the YWCA’s youth programs in East Tennessee and serves as a hub for the entire community.
