Birthed in Experience. Established in 2014.

The Infinity Center represents the coming together of a vision birthed by a group of visionaries under the leadership of long-time Activist and Community Leader, jeff obafemi carr. In the effort to bridge the lines that divide us, an official organization was needed to foster in Service as a core element of Community. With the birth of the Infinity Fellowship came a need to create a space that would be inclusive and innovate in North Nashville. Thus was born The Infinity Center. We exist in a renovated former home in 4,300 sq. feet of multi-purpose space, on 4.9 acres of land.

Focused on Community. Walking in Our Mission.

The Infinity Center provides inter and intra-racial empowerment,  educational support, food, clothing and shelter for the marginalized, people of color, and underserved populations.

We unite people across social divides and provide opportunities for social action by providing housing, education, the arts, and personal development activities year-round. Outreaches are for everyone, and there is no need for any membership or affiliation. We are here, simply, to serve our community.
