Everyone deserves a chance to live a life full of purpose and promise. A life that values work, relationships, and the dignity of a home to be proud of. We provide the opportunity for adults with intellectual disabilities to find satisfaction of a life well lived, through work and friendship. Through no fault of their own, these adults need the support of their community, so we create a home for rest and comfort. We help fulfill the human desire to live a life of purpose and promise. Sertoma Center was founded in 1961 by the Knoxville Downtown Sertoma Club and met in the basement of First Presbyterian Church. The initial goal of the Center was to train pre-school children for special education classes in the public schools and originally served 17 children. In 1970, the move was made to Dandridge Avenue and the Center was established as a non-profit corporation. At this time, the Knox County school system took over the provision of educational services for children with special needs. Sertoma Center changed its focus to providing comprehensive life services for adults with intellectual disabilities. The Center moved into its headquarters on Fifth Avenue in 1993 and presently serves approximately 135 individuals and their families. Major funding comes from the State of Tennessee’s Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for our current annual budget of $12 million dollars. However, the full extent of our services could not be realized without the vital support of the City of Knoxville, Knox County, and the business community, foundations, civic groups, family and friends of Sertoma Center.
