Nutrition Services Coordinator

Who We Are

Phyllis Wheatley Community Center (PWCC) has proudly served the Minneapolis Community since 1924 and was the first agency in the Twin Cities committed to meeting the human services needs of a growing African American community. For many Blacks, PWCC was a safe port in the midst of a racially segregated city. Although our community remains chronically underserved today, our organization is dedicated to breaking barriers, fostering opportunities, and creating equity and equality for the African American community.

Why You'll Love Working Here

At PWCC, we believe in the transformative power of education and restoration and the profound impact of empowering marginalized voices. We work to safeguard equity and equality in all our programs and services, which aim to eliminate opportunity gaps for the community. PWCC programs provide skills training, family restorative courses, health and vaccine services, early childhood education, skilled technology workforce development programming, and other pathways that allow people to discover their strengths and take control of their futures. The people we work with are filled with resilience, determination, and perseverance, unique to only those who have come far, but still have much further to go.
