We envision a vibrant, diverse and equitable community in which all individuals and families have the power to make quality choices about education, employment, housing, wellness and creative expression. Through educational programs and community services open to all area residents; through organizing and advocacy toward educational reform in local public schools; and through creative partnerships with groups and institutions that share our goals, New Settlement has made a noticeable difference in the quality of life in the neighborhood in the last 26 years — and is poised to do more in the future.
