Golden Gate Community Center, a member of Arizona’s Children Association Family of Agencies, has been a beacon of hope for south and west central Phoenix neighborhoods for over 70 years.  Golden Gate Community Center was founded in the 1930's and incorporated in 1952 as a settlement house for the immigrant poor, and is a true community center.  Displaced by the construction of Sky Harbor Airport, many members followed the center to its current location at McDowell Road and 39th Ave. where they enjoy a 22,000 square foot facility that houses a myriad of activities. The mission of Golden Gate is ‘to provide programs and services that improve the quality of life for children and families in west central Phoenix neighborhoods’
