Since 1895, Union Settlement has worked with the predominantly immigrant community of East Harlem. A community mainstay, we seek to foster leadership and self-sufficiency by assisting our neighbors in building better lives for themselves and their families. As one of East Harlem's largest social service agencies, we respond to issues that affect the entire community serving more than 13,000 low-income residents annually through effective programs in education, childcare, nutrition, senior services, counseling, the arts, job training, and economic development.
