Company History
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House was originally founded in 1894 as a free kindergarten for immigrants and is among the oldest settlement houses in the nation. At its core, the work has not changed since our founding—we still educate children, feed hungry neighbors, care for the elderly, advocate for vulnerable individuals and provide critical, comprehensive services to immigrants and low-income New Yorkers, helping them to gain the skills they need to strengthen themselves today and build a better community for tomorrow.
