East Boston Social Centers
Description edit
Founded in 1918, East Boston Social Centers, Inc. is a multi-service agency, serving culturally diverse families and individuals of all ages in East Boston and throughout Greater Boston.
The programs offered by the Social Centers are designed to meet people’s educational, social and recreational needs and to build community and strengthen families. The Social Centers seek to create a welcoming and supportive environment, characterized by a spirit of goodwill and caring, in which members of our community are empowered to lead productive and fulfilling lives.
The history of the Social Centers dates to the 1880's when some of the settlement houses were formed to meet the needs of a new immigrant population. These agencies were pioneers in the fields of childcare, public health, and social work. Combining several predecessor agencies, East Boston Social Centers was formally incorporated in 1918.
