Founded in 1945 as a safe and nurturing place for urban youth, families and seniors, Neighborhood House is a community center in the settlement house tradition serving individuals and families at all stages of life and regardless of income. Neighborhood House reaches over 4,000 people annually through wrap-around services including quality early child care, after school programs for youth and teens, adult education for refugees, and parenting support.
Neighborhood House is based on Milwaukee’s near west side with programs at its main site as well as the International Learning Center, Safe Place at Albert Story School, and a 93-acre Nature Center in Dodge County. Neighborhood House goals align with major community initiatives aimed at helping people of all ages realize their full potential through educational preparedness, academic engagement and achievement, access to post-secondary opportunities, and family engagement in the educational process.
