Grand Street Settlement | www.grandsettlement.org
There is only one way to tell our story: people. In many ways, the story of our city is the story of us. Our stories of origin, our cultures and traditions, and our dreams for the future define us as individuals while uniting our families and communities. We grow when we are each inspired and thrive when we are all connected.
That’s where we come in.
The settlement house model came to New York when the city was at critical mass. People needed space for their dreams to grow and a place for their roots to gather. In 1916, Grand St. Settlement opened its doors, creating a community that would transcend place and time. What began as neighbors helping neighbors became a family.
