About

 

Founded in 1902 as a settlement house to help New York’s increasing immigrant population adjust to life in a new country, today Greenwich House offers programs in the arts, education, and social services that provide thousands of New Yorkers with personal enrichment and cultural experiences.

Greenwich House programs are a valuable resource to our neighbors and those who work in, visit, or seek care in Greenwich Village and across the city.

Children are welcome in Greenwich House Youth Services or Barrow Street Nursery School. Artists of all ages take classes at Greenwich House Music School and Greenwich House Pottery or enjoy concerts and cultural events hosted by these schools. Seniors find community, social activities, and case management at our four older adult centers, and workforce training at our Lifelong Skills and Opportunity Center. Health services are provided through the Center for Resiliency and Wellness and the Center for Healing.

No matter what program, each individual at Greenwich House ensures that everyone receives the care and service they need to live a more fulfilling life, and helps to contribute to this unique, caring community of friends and neighbors in New York.

New Yorkers from all segments of society, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and religion are welcomed.

You can search the Greenwich House Archives at the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library Special Collections Center which houses collections of our historic photos, documents, and other materials.

Greenwich House is a registered 501 c(3) organization and a member of the United Neighborhood Houses of New York. If you are interested in learning more about the network of settlement houses and the work they do, click here.
