Phoenix Indian Center now has Central Avenue address
Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
The Phoenix Indian Center is relocating to a new site in midtown Phoenix.
This move to 4041 N. Central Ave, Building B, Phoenix, at the southeast corner of Indian School Road and Central Avenue, is close to various Valley Metro Rail and bus lines, and aims to better support its growing base of clients, staff and the wider community, officials there tell the Digital Free Press.
“For over 77 years, the Phoenix Indian Center has served as a crucial community hub for urban American Indians living in the Phoenix metro area,” said Jolyana Begay-Kroupa, CEO of the Phoenix Indian Center, in a prepared statement.
“We are thrilled about transitioning to a larger and more visible building. This new location enhances community gathering and kinship and improves service accessibility, including sharing space with Tohono ‘O’odham Community College.”
Renovations of the new office are expected to be completed in late April 2024, the release states.
The center will maintain in-person services at its current address until Friday, April 26, after which services will shift to a virtual format to facilitate the move, resuming in-person at the new location in early May.
This relocation brings the center next to Native Health Phoenix, fostering unique community engagement and service opportunities. The new, larger two-story facility features conference rooms, classrooms on the first floor, staff offices on the second, and additional meeting and rental spaces. Plans are in place for a community open house in May, with further details to be announced.
