Greenwich House

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 social services, arts and education 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 the Village. Whether it is a class at the Music School, Pottery, After-School or Summer Arts Camp, socializing at one of our senior centers, counseling at the Children’s Safety Project or treatment at the Chemical Dependency Program, our professional, well-trained staff ensures that everyone receives the care and service they need to live a more fulfilling life. Each individual at Greenwich House— be they educators, artists, social workers, students, therapists, volunteers or donors—helps to contribute to this unique, caring community of friends and neighbors in New York. Greenwich House helps individuals and families lead more fulfilling lives by offering social and health services, cultural and educational programs, and opportunities for civic involvement to New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds. Greenwich House believes in the ability to improve the quality of life of the individuals and families in Greenwich Village and across the city. New Yorkers from all segments of society, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and religion are welcomed. Greenwich House offers flexible and responsive services that address a wide variety of contemporary challenges—early childhood education, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health, ceramic arts education, musical enrichment, elder care and senior social activities.
