The mission of United South End Settlements (USES) is to harness the power of our diverse community to disrupt the cycle of poverty for children and their families. We offer programs that holistically support families in achieving economic mobility: -We work with parents and caregivers to develop their own capacity to reach their goals through coaching, increase their income and assets through job training and placement, and expand their social networks through community connections. -We provide children with quality education & enrichment opportunities through early childhood education, after school, and a summer sleepaway camp that foster their personal development, ready them for school and beyond, and enable them to develop a multi-cultural lens that most do not cultivate much later in life. We believe that as families increase their income and assets, become more resilient and connect to a diverse network, they and their children are more likely to develop the necessary skills to disrupt the cycle of poverty.
