One Voice Community Center began with a single letter to the editor of a local publication that elicited overwhelming support from the community. One Voice was founded in 2005, and incorporated as a 501c3 in the state of Arizona. In 2007 One Voice established its first physical space, a small office inside the Melrose Center on 7th ave., that space was donated for one year by Phoenix Pride. In August 2009, One Voice Community Center expended into a 2200 square foot space of its on at 725 West Indian School Road, with a expansion pf programs including a cyber center, reopening of the BJ Bud Library, and introducing the Michele de LaFreniere Resource Center, a Art gallery, and started providing meeting space for other emerging non profits in phoenix to meet.
