Celebrating our 90th year!

 

The Sewickley Community Center was founded in 1935 by a group of young African American men as the Sewickley Colored Community Center, with support from the Sewickley Valley Ministerial Association and local leaders, to provide a dedicated space for the African American community after a flood forced the closure of the “Colored” YMCA.

 

In response, the Center officiallyopened in 1937. Celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2025, the Centercontinues to adapt, offering programs, activities, and opportunities that meet the evolving needs of Sewickley Valley residents. The Sewickley Community Center, known throughout the community as “the Center,” exists to provide affordable activities, opportunities, and shared space that meet the diverse and evolving needs of the Sewickley Valley Area.

 

For generations, the Center has served as a trusted gathering place where individuals and families can thrive. Rooted in the belief that every resident has potential, the Centers supports the physical, social, and emotional well-being of our community.

 

As a community resource and recreation hub, we help people live their happiest, healthiest, and fullest lives by offering inclusive programs, accessible wellness opportunities, and welcoming spaces for all.
