Mission

Since its founding in 1916, Grand Street Settlement has provided residents of the Lower East Side community with the tools and support they need to overcome challenging circumstances and build productive lives and futures. Its comprehensive and integrated array of culturally relevant programs and services assists more than 10,000 area residents of all ages annually, from toddlers in Early Head Start and Day Care to school-age youth, young adults, and senior citizens. Grand Street Settlement encourages and nurtures self-determination among families and individuals through learning, advocacy, support, and community building.
