Originally established in 1875 to serve under-resourced families, East End House is one of Greater Boston’s earliest social service centers. A Theory of Change blueprint aligns all programming to the long-term goal of youth completing at least two years of post-secondary education or finding gainful employment by age 24. East End House offers a wide variety of programs and services that support families and individuals of every age and ability, improve self-sufficiency, and provide emergency aid. Programs include child care and afterschool programs that provide youth the tools they need for life-long academic and social success, as well as wrap-around services – including parent education classes, a resource and referral program, senior support services, volunteer and community outreach programs, and an Emergency Food Program – that foster a healthy community.
