Neighbors Who Build
At United South End Settlements (USES), we build strength —
of neighborhood, of community and of individuals. Located in the center
of Boston, one of America's greatest cities, we are at the heart of
that greatness. For more than a century, USES has provided key programs
and services to help thousands of urban children, teens, adults and
seniors realize their full potential.
We
strengthen and support strong families. We help neighbors
recognize common bonds and acknowledge differences. Through our unique
blend of educational opportunities and innovative cross-cultural
enrichment and arts programs, we build strong bridges — across the city
and beyond. We are one of the nation's renowned
"settlement houses," founded in the 19th century to initiate positive
changes to address the complex needs of the time. Traditional settlement
houses brought people of privilege into the poorest neighborhoods to
live and work side by side with their less fortunate neighbors, mostly
immigrants, from birth to death. The vision was to develop each person's
strengths, not just to provide services from the outside.
Today we continue to build up people
— of all ages, backgrounds and income levels — who work, play and live
together in Boston's vibrant neighborhoods of the South End and Lower
Roxbury. For a hundred years and counting, we have offered programs that
tap the promise within every person. One person, one family at a time,
we continue to change lives — and the world.
